I feel a bit inadequate when compared to others on this list. At least I know that there are others here who feel the same way.
(1) 1972 Gitane Gran Sport DeLuxe - Converted into a "city bike" with a new paint job. (2) 1970 Gitane Super Corsa - Campagnolo NR throughout. Original finish & decals - a real beauty, if I may say so myself! (3) 1984 Gitane Super Challenge - Another "city bike", cheap frame. (4) 1985? Gitane Professionnel - frame only (BB threads are trashed). (5) 1986? Gitane "Replica" - 531, Campagnolo SR throughout. Getting new "old" stickers made for this one from Koolbikes. (6) 2002 Gitane Mach 1800 - Shimano Ultegra - my racing bike.
Brand loyal - err - correction - "brand stupid." Pictures of these (except the Super Corsa, which I still need to photograph) and other Gitane stuff is on my yahoo groups website at:
