Need photos to get opinions. The better the photos, the better the opinions.
Overall, drive side, and details.

there's a wide spread of interpretation between fair and good condition of components, and especially of paint, chrome & decals, but I'll throw out a range of $300-$500 pending pictures.

I was wondering about measurement standards. Is it from center of crank up seat post to middle of top tube? This is a tall bike
Has Weinman rims-c700 "concave" shape. Paint is not good, plenty of scratches, even some rust. A small dent in top tube. I was just going to clean with soap and water maybe wax to arrest oxidation, re lube all bearings, tune up shifters, new tape, true rear rim and ride it!

+1 If you want a value we need pictures.
There are two ways it can be done. Measure from the center of the crank to the center of the intersection between the seat tube and top tube (center-to-center) or you can measure up to the top of the seat tube (center-to-top.) As long as you specify either method is correct.

Thanks for measure refs, newbie here. Great resources . Can't figure out how to post picks. I'll get some help and repost. The gitane has Weinmann rims c-700. They are concave on the I.D. I have not seen this type
