I don't knoe what vintage TdF you hsve, but my 84's fork chrome looks very good.
Might have been the Trek connection at that time (I heard that some sort of agreements were made to sell Gitanes exclusively from Trek dealerships in the early and mid 80's?) that forced Gitane to provide better chrome on their bikes?
