If you have any pictures, it would help. My Viner is from about
1980-81 when I purchased it new through the bike shop I worked for.
Came from Gus Betat in New Orleans. The decals on my bike match the
ones listed on Ebay auction

That is about as close to a useful picture as you are going to get from me because the decals seem to be crumbling off of the bike. Eric Keller Boalsburg, Pennsylvania USA
