Rare Gitane ?

This is the Gran Tourisme with eyelets for rack and light.
This is a neat bike. What are your plans for the build?

The catalog specs show the Gran Tourisme weighing in at 25 lbs and the TdF at 21 and 1/2. 25 seems like a lot for a Reynolds 531 frame but maybe the weight includes fenders and a front rack? Perhaps the bike is spec'd with a slightly heavier version of Reynolds as well.
