Wow, at 140 on that bike, you must be a rocket!
I haven't seen 140 since my freshman year - of high school! I'd love to get down to 175 myself. I think it would help my cycling, but I seem to have found my comfort level at 185 or so.
Great looking Gitane. Very racy looking. The bar tape and seat look great together. Those aluminum forks were nicknamed "death forks", weren't they? Well, glad you lived through it!
