EARLY 1960's FREJUS CATALOGUE AND KOLBET

 Frejus catalogue approximate date 1960-61

 

 Frejus road and track bikes where imported by

 Worralls cycle &  sport distributors from the 

early/mid 1950's.

These sleek new machines signaled one of the final nails being
driven into the coffin of New Zealand frame builders of this period.

Everybody wanted one, and this new Continental invader was 
soon joined by the stylish Legnano's and French Bertin's 
being brought into the country by Auckland's Hill's Cycles.

Suddenly owning a locally built frameset 

seemed old fashioned.

 Hugo Koblet, Frejus star rider of the fifties

known as Le pédaleur de charme

It's easy to see why Frejus bikes where so popular....
