I have that model Gitane, but was told that the rear dropouts were Vitus. It's not a gaspipe model since the Reynolds 531 db stickers were still somewhat intact. I bought it well used in 1979 and it was represented to me to be a 1973 bike. I was offered the Campagnolo NR group that came on the bike, but $75.00 sounded too steep to me at the time. I think it was a club racer model in Europe, hence the name " Team Racing"
