    Yes, many Attached are two. She's very similar to the Falcons I rode in high school.....way too many years ago to mention. Apart from the top tube decal, I saved the other decals, and almost all the original components (Huret drivetrain, Weinmann centrepull brakes. I did have to replace the rusted steel cranks and bb with Sugino alloy ones). I repaired the rust, scratches and dents, and sprayed four coats of duPont Centari enamel. The original Rigida Chromalux rims are really rusted, so I may have to replace them. Otherwise, she's good to go!
