Re: returning to cycling/More Pictures

So.... Went to Micheal's Shop today and he helped me with my head set that would not seating correctly. We traded some parts that were not right for my Frejus frame, so hokes pokes and bamm, we nail the installation of the head set. Adjuster the rear derailleur, prepared the introduction of the Gran-Prix Rare Stem, and some final adjustments to the front derailleur. Had a Brook's Saddle on a steel frame Frejus and added it to this frame. Went through a lot to get a 7mm hex wrench and some springs for the skewers. Thanks for looking...

Philo NY









Hi All

My name is Philo from NY. I used to ride a lot in my younger days back in 69. I started riding at the age of 5 yrs old, and owned a couple of Schwinn bicycles in East Harlem New York. That's where I met a very special person, a racing intusist and bike store owner named Tommy Avenia, he lived on 119th Street and Pleasant Ave. He and his brother would fix our bikes for pennies on a dollar sometimes. Those were the days. Anyway, now I'm 62 and my love for a certain bicycle returned when I saw a Frejus that looks just like the one that was stolen many years ago. So, I started looking around and I decided to collect and rebuild vintage bikes. The first one I bought is a Columbus steel frame Frejus, then a 1971/531 Frejus, and the top of the line model... The Super Corsa which I owned back in 1967-68. Enjoy the pics. I"ll keep editing and adding more pics and stories.
