I wasn't aware anyone was using the Gitane name any more. Guess I was wrong. I wonder when they hooked up with Bianchi and under what circumstances. My first race bike was a brand new '84 Tour de France, which you can see in the '84 US catalog on the Gitane website you linked. It was the least expensive model in the "Pro" line. I loved it, even with its French quirks.
Guess I can post a link to it just as easily.
