In 1973, this was Gitane's alternative to the UO-8. Found on our local CL for $45, belonged to seller's mom and was hanging in her Sausalito home for "at least 30 years". included 2 new tires + 2nd set of shift levers + 2 front DR's to replace the broken original. Just a light dusting of rust on the chrome bits.

Pics taken after clean-up + some Blue Magic for the bar & rim chrome. Amazed that wheels and BB spin free, but will be doing a full tear down, clean, polish & lube. Don
