Hi George and CR list members, Wayne Bingham took the digital photos of my Gitane Super Corsa, the top of the line Gitane in the early 1970's. The next model down was the Tour de France and a small silver colored decal may say Service Course on the Tour de France model. What crankset is on your bicycle? There are a few other list members who have Gitanes in their collections. Let me know if I can be of any help. Later, Marty Walsh in Vienna,Va.
