Yes indeed.
Here's one that I built up on a modern lugged steel frame w/ design similar to the Brit club rider's bike I came up with.
Finding another International in good nick for the project was a remote possibility. This Soma w/ a modest suite of modern components, and bits & bobs from the parts box, meets my requirements. It's a nice clean design w/ 130 spacing, never crashed, no rust and no hyper$ "collector's object" price tag.
