1) Anyone know of a source for the french language 531 decals ? The Frejus I got earlier this month

http://i5.ebayimg.com/02/i/00f1/f3/3f_1.JPG

has the remnants of one on the top tube next to the headset, and the bike is deserving of a cosmetic refurb-touchup. One of the items I'd like to replace is that transfer, and since I have several other late 60's-early 70's frames that have various bits of the frenchie 531 stickers, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there has 'em? Don't recall seeing them on squee-bay recently at ALL.

2) I'd like to find the world championship foil band decals frejus used on the seat tube (mine has four) as well as the downtube transfer (mine's knackered from a loose ft derailler cable and some strange friction source)

3) were Mavic-rimmed wheels really what these came with? The bike appears to be a 72, so I guess in the rush to market any old wheels coulda wound up on it, the ones it has now are record large flange with champione de mondo (or whatever the frech iteration is) stickers, but the rims are stamped monthlery! Oddly, the rear wheel is pristine unused and new never had a tire glued on. Likewise the universal centerpulls, and other assorted bits appear completely unused, but the front wheel has the blackening of the sidewalls due to the stippled metal finish of the rims. I am thinking of fiamme red labels, what say y'all.?
