From the web site:
"Welcome to Gitane USA.com -- Gitane bicycles (Cycles Gitane) have been synonymous with French bicycle racing. No other brand can boast a greater racing pedigree than Gitane..." and later on "No other bicycle manufacturer can compare with Gitane\u2019s legendary palmares."
Stephan I realize you're a rabid advocate for Gitane but the above statement seems kind of questionable as an introduction to your web site since there are more than a couple of brands that clearly have greater racing pedigrees and more palmares.
Your Gitane web site is very impressive; I just wish it had a little more historical accuracy.
