The other 1984, 85 & 86 Gitane bikes have Vitus dropouts. I'd heard that Gitane stopped using the Simplex dropouts ~1984 because of breakage problems across the hole for the plastic nut for the adjuster screws??? Looks pretty beefy to me.
Four of my 1980's Peugeots have Simplex dropouts and I've never heard about any problems with breakage problems with them Peugeots.
Most of the actual Gitane Team bike that I've seen or seen pictures of had Campy 1010A or 1010B dropouts.
