1974-76 Gitane

It's a lower end 1974-76 Gitane with what appears to be two people rubbing uglies in close proximity to the bike.

How can I tell? The seat stay is 12mm or 14mm. Better models had 16mm seat stays!

The frame is too large for the rider - the suede covered plastic ass-hatchet seat that Gitane provided back then is too far down.

Just one more thing...



It looks like male and female legs!
