Charles inquirery made me think of an earlier post about this style of bike. Gitane, Peugeot and most other french brands offered the same model (basic tourer with fenders , racks and lights) in the early 70s. I dont know if they were brought in because bikes were in short supply during the 70s Boom or as an alternative to a 3 speed lightweight. Did these models hang on after the manufacturers set up direct distribution?
