Ok, so now I come to my many questions of course. What color to go, I believe original was white, but then I can not be certain. I ponder now what colors were offered when this bike was made, of which I am uncertain of the exact year really. So to all the gurus I ask is there a way to determine the year from the frame and parts, like what changes did gitane make over the years, style of fork etc. I am attaching a couple photos here and am hopeful I might stir interest in this, like a detective thing, research I do and very little to find, so turn to the knowledge data base... the people I will ask too if anyone has a gitane that could photo the decals for me to see as well, I can make decals and want to get as original as possible. Yup I am a pain in the neck haha but all this for fun.
