Following an interesting exchange of information in a couple of other recent threads on a Gitane and a Tourmalet, I was looking for information on French touring bikes from the late 60's / early 70's, and stumbled upon this Gitane for sale. The toe clips caught my eye and I made an offer which was accepted and now I am the owner of this example of what seems to be the "Diffusion de grand luxe" sports model.
Apparently the previous owner was serious about the "sports" bit, because besides the toe clips there's no kick stand (surprising!) and no lock (amazing!).
The bike is dusty and rusty, but otherwise in pretty good condition and, more importantly, almost complete and original. The only thing missing seems to be the frame pump.
It will need some cleaning, polishing and greasing, but there's still a very pretty bike underneath the grime and the rust.
