I'm not so sure. 26.2, 26.4 and 26.6 were all very common sizes on high end
French bikes in the classic era. In my experience, 26.6 is every bit as
likely as 26.4.

Well George, my best guess for your seatpost is 26.4 . I've really never
seen any other size for an early seventies Gitane. Doesn't have to be a
French brand seatpost either just a 26.4. I have a few SR Laprades that are
not that pretty, but I'll offer you one for the cost of shipping.
