Just picked up this basement dweller from its hooks for at least 30 years according to the owner, who bought it used in the 70's. I'm clueless about French bikes and this Gitane has no model name anywhere, except for a decal stating "Tubes Flash"? Durifort fork, Mafac Racer brakes and levers, Campy Gran Sport RD and FD, Benelux shifters, Stronglight cranks with some very cool Lyotard pedals-Christophe clips-Lapize straps. Original Silca pump in Orange, never seen one that color? Ava stem (is this bad?) with 3TTT bars which I guess are Cinelli, original cotton tape. Campy high flange hubs laced to Mavic rims with Sprint tubulars. Unicanitor saddle in good shape.

I'm guessing this was a high end Gitane, based on the components. Any help would be appreciated, or a link to a brochure. I'd be happy to know if it's from the 60's or 70's. Another nice winter project maybe. Check out the Velox repair kit included.
