A rather nice Gitane Professional, and cheap too - but what's the year?
Apparently it was used in competition. €40 just round the corner from me, and it looks to be in my size....

Unfortunately Gitane USA seems to be down, the site isn't loading from my computer, so if anyone from C&V can offer some info that wouod be great.

Anyway, here's a piccie:



The price includes the Campagnolo crankset (model? any good? I know nothing about old campy stuff - I'm sorry!), the front mech, headset, DT shifters etc etc.

There seems to be a number tab on the underneath of the top tube. Maybe suggests a genuine team bike...?


::EDIT:: I managed to get on the Gitane USA website in the end and post the same question over there.
