Yes, entire head tube is wrapped in the foil decal. I thought it was chromevelato when I first saw it on Ebay. It is a fine looking Gitane and the favorable remarks from both the C&V group plus several CR members whetted my appetite and pushed me into "Gotta have it" mode. I don't usually buy from Ebay, preferring Craigslist and face to face transactions.

I'll be riding it as soon as I stick a set of wheels on it. I don't need to buy tubulars as I can borrow a wheelset from another bike.
