Thanks for the low-down on the Gitane, Bikeman -

I was pretty curious about it myself after seeing another identical bike posted (though not necessarily selling) for $1399 on eBay. (You read right: $1399. )

-And from the looks of it - yours is in nearly the same incredibly well preserved condition.

But 12" from the ground to BB?!
What were they thinking?
I'm not a wiz at frame geometry so I really have to wonder what this high CG would have bought for them.
