I'd jump all over it for €250! It looks new!

The frame is the same as a 1978 or thereabouts Gitane Olympic model. The Gitane Olympic bikes came all Campy equipped.



Since Helyett was a secondary line for Gitane, they probably used less expensive components.


Historical note: Gitane supposedly justified their use of the rainbow colors based on Anquetil's successes while riding for Helyett which as mentioned above, was taken over by Gitane in 1962. This ad shows Anquetil's 5 TdF wins: 1957, 1961, 1962, 1963 & 1964



However, "Rolf Wolfshohl won back to back World Cyclocross Championships on his Gitane in 1960 and 1961. Jean Stablinski became World Road Race Champion in 1962 riding his French “racing blue” Gitane." per GitaneUSA.com website
