From the decals I'd say that it's a 1980-1981 Gitane Sprint n° 3920. It was a mid range model between an Interclub and a TdF.

The dropouts are Huret that are compatible with the de facto Campy style standard so most derailleurs made after the mid 70's should fit.

The link to the 1980 catalog picture on the GitaneUSA.com website is broken but here's the specs:

Someone replaced the original Huret derailleurs with Suntour but keeping the Huret shift levers. The original brakes were probably Weinmann side pulls that were replaced with Modolo brakes. The wheels have been replaced too.

The French Reynolds 531 sticker says "CONSTRUIT AVEC 3 TUBES RENFORCES" meaning the 3 main tubes are butted 531 while the forks and rear stays are made of standard Gitane tubing.



The LONG stem is a replacement too and it's DANGEROUSLY HIGH. The stem should be inserted at least 75mm-80mm (3") into the steerer.

Should be a nice riding bike... Enjoy
