Say, it's a pretty nice frame on eBay that I know nothing about! Time to put the CR Suerte on the job. Anyone with info on the Gitane Service Course? The only thing I deduce from the picture are all Reynolds 531 db, smooth point lugs, probably had centerpulls originally.
Questions I'd like to answer would be: probable year of manufacture (seller says 70's), was the frame used by pros, and if so who (assuming Masi didn't build the pro team bikes:>), likely original componentry, probable BB threading, and any riding impressions of these frames. The only thing I can tell is that it doesn't look like Greg Lemond's Gitane. Thanks for the help, Inspector.
The URL is one of those stupendous tutorial ones that doesn't fit in emails, but item number is Item #1127131624.
