Astra "Tour de France" 10 Speed

Standard French bike boom rig.  Sheldon Brown says these were manufactured by Motobecane.  Notice the flying "M" on the fork crown.  Full Huret drivetrain with the ubiquitous Normandy/Rigida wheelset.  I just got this and haven't even ridden it.  Looks great.  I read that they cost about $100 new out of the box in the early 70s.  Nice looking, nice details.
