Bikes: The keepers: 1969 Magneet Sprint, 1971 Gitane Tour de France, 1973 Raleigh Twenty, 3 - 1986 Rossins.

I'd feel safe in saying mid-80's with the cable guides on the top tube. Likewise the holes drilled in the bottom bracket to allow the derailleur cable to pass through. The foil decal on the seat tube is definitely not any Gitane I've ever seen. If you want to go nice, it'd be worth media blasting and repainting/powder coating and just get another 531 decal to replace the original.
