Bikes: Too many to list here check my signature.

It’s like a licensed Falcon product.

I like the colors on the Peugeot.

Lowest of the low-end bikes of its era: wingnuts and three-piece steel hubs are a couple of the giveways. Still, quite an early example of a Merckx-licensed bike, so it's of at least some interest on that score.

Ha, yeah, although intrigued by the fenders, I think the Merckx might be the least interesting bike in the pic!

Eddy Merckx Falcon "Tour de France" have a half-chrome fork. Maybe that's a hint.
