7 years since my last post, how time flies.

Oh yes. That was my bike. Orange (though yours looks like it has more red in it on my monitor) with white pin-striping on the lugs. Had the seat tube decal but not the downtube decal yours has. Same globe St Etienne headbadge as the red bike upthread. (Unlike the mod type handling on the seat- and down tubes on the root beer colored bike above--nice!)
Good working bike of its time, and a better bike today, IMO. I like lugs. Mine was bought new for Christmas 1973, maybe 74, in Sacramento.
