I stumbled onto this fellow while looking for a cheap replacement frame for my trashed winter singlespeed.



It seems to be a Gitane Tour de France from 1973 or so. Not too many original parts left but the frame and fork seem to be in good shape, the chrome is good, and the paint has some damage but is generally sound.

Winter project! For now I'm going to strip it to the frame, clean it up and maybe do some touch-up of the paint--although that's something that I have little experience with--then work on gradually building it back up with correct (or at least age-appropriate) components.
