While many others have a Gitane TDF...I don't think many have one in this paint scheme...I bought it from the original owner...a very nice gentleman named Tom in his (I'm guessing) late 60s...he was part of several cycling teams in the early - mid 70s...Jesolo was a team based in Italy at the time and was starting a U.S. team...Tom tried out and made the team. Jesolo took his and his teammates bikes and repainted them w/ the Jesolo team colors. Tom raced the bike for about nine months until which time Jesolo gave him a team-issued bike. He kept this bike over the years for sentimental reasons, tinkering with it and riding it on occasion. Pics are in as bought condition...winter plans call for a Ideale saddle, new bar tape and general maintenance...
