Some of the decals read "Custom made in France" and "Tour de France" and "émail luxe puo lyméisé". I deciphered a few random numbers of the left dropout; the larger ones, i believe read 5421 and the smaller ones read 187. I don't know the year but any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...34/photo-1.jpg
If it says "Tour de France" that is what it is. or is it? the beauty of Gitanes is that workers would use whatever stickers they had laying around.

Can you spot a Reynold's sticker? Try weighing it? M '73 Gitane TDF weighs 22.5lbs.

As to the OP, what components do you have on the bike?
