No catalogs, just physical examples.

Parents bought a pair in 1965. Both came with Huret Allvit. (Second Version) Mom still has hers, original save for tyres and saddle, she had me put on a sprung "mattress" saddle in 1970 or so.

When I became aware of quality bikes about 1971, I was impressed at those bikes, 531 straight gauge throughout, nice lug work, and I could not figure out how a bike with steel rims weighed so little.

Purchased from C. Harding's Westwood Cyclery, home of the 90 speed bicycle.
