One of my LBS is going to close his shop in fall. He has a couple of NOS Gitane bikes in stock. According to the GitaneUSA Site they are 85/86 entry level models, like the Victoire and Defi. They have the blue and yellow outfit and about 4 bikes are available. Sizes range from 54 to 56 and 60cm frame height. All bikes are fully equipped with the basic huret shifters an maillard hubs. Brakes are Weinmann. Cranks are lete Nervar labelled models. The dealer agreed to sell them for 250 Euros each, I might cut a better deal if i take em all. Is anybody in teh list interested in the bikes? I can handle the shipping for any seller overseas, it will cost you 80$. If I get positive feedback via personal mail I can go there and get detailed pictures of the desired model.There is also one ladies Concorde model in the shop, like pictured here:

I think this will be the same price as the others, estimated framesize is 54 to 56 cm.
I am not doing this for profit but to get this bikes in caring hands and to help one of my favourite LBS, altough they are not really collectible for their low rank in the pecking order. Michael Schmid
