Is a Frame up Build on a Made in France Gitanes a Problem Child?
I have tracked down a French made Gitanes frame set — not a gas pipe Canadian boom bike. It may be late 70's. It is entirely 531: tubes, forks and stays according the badging.
I want to transfer all my stuff from my Trek 560 over to the Gitanes, which is more my size. Impossible? Or because it is a Reynolds frame, would they have used English BB threading, a more standard seat tube diameter and steering tube threads.
