Is this the pre '05 Cirque buying frenzy to get a french bike into your hands? Harvey passed me an early 70's Gitane Tour De France at Trexlertown this year. Rebuilt, cleaned up and took first ride today, and it's sublime, the real Gallic spirit. It may put my PX10 on the block. Thanks for the bike, Harve, now come on up and lets do a ride. Probably more detailed Gitane musings tonight, as this bike is speaking to me a lot today.
