Sorry Charlie (not everyday you get to say that ^)
All of my road bikes are lugged except for my Bontrager 'cross bike (not relevant to this list, I know). I am Doug Van Cleve and I live in Chandler, AZ (SE suburb of Phoenix). As I mentioned, I have what appears to be the same Gitane that is on eBay. I think mine is all original except for the bar/stem, seatpost and maybe rims. I think it is probably from about '86 as it has 6 speed Suntour indexing shifters. Any help IDÃng it would be appreciated...
Thanks, Doug
