Thanks Steve, yes I know Gitanes can be dated by decals, I'm trying to get a bit more info on the start of the "foil era" bikes as Chas has determined. The ones you think are so attractive from later 70s use all lower case "gitane" font, some have the honeycomb rear dropouts too, pretty cool stuff. I like those too but I'm more partial to the later 60s/early 70s all caps font GITANE over world champion stripes (foil era) as well as the all caps GITANE yellow "bubble font" on French blue from the 1980s (late Renault Elf, early Systeme U). Both my wife and I have 1987 Team Pros, 531c, number fob, internal cables run in from bottom of top tube. I bought her's in late 1980s, brand new and built up w/ mostly French components. I've loved that bike for decades and I finally found an 87 Pro frame for myself...going to build it up w/ first gen Campy Chorus.
