Mike,
Your questions are discussed and answered in depth in the GitaneUSA.com forum. There's also a recent interview with Hinault. Do some searches in the Forum and you should be able to find what you're looking for. There were some surprising answers "right from the horse's (or Badger's) mouth".

Hi all,
I though I'd introduce myself first. I'm a photographer working in London England, who used to race in Europe in the early to mid eighties for a small English racing team who's main sponsor was Condor Cycles of London. We did a lot of track work and some small Crits, moving on to small Pro-am races in France and Holland, where I discovered both pain and women, both of which colluded to end my competitive cycling career!
I remember watching Hainult riding his own branded frames and am trying to find out some info on them. This would be in 1986/7 I suppose. Does anyone know who built them etc. I'm guessing but who made the Hianult branded Frames? Gitanes, MBK? any info would be great.
toodle pip :-)
