I'm sure all you Frejus fans have seen this bike on ebay. Nice bike, if a little rich for my blood.

Yes,very nice indeed. Anyone besides me think that the 1958 Legnano that sold last week for $4,449 influenced the seller's decision to place his Frejus on Ebay?
I know for a fact that the 1955 Legnano Tipo Roma I purchased from Ebay last week was listed by its owner hoping to increase his selling price from the interest generated by the stunning 1958 Legnano. Didn't work out for him.
I got it for a great price even though it needs a good restoration.

I thought the same thing when that bike came on. Retyred, you might try submerging the chrome in vinegar for a day, then giving the chrome bits a vigorous wipe with a coarse rag and/or fine steel wool. In my experience vinegar has no effect on paint. You might be pleasantly surprised by what it does to rust, though.
