...not sure if your response was to me Steve...my Gitane is pre-honeycomb era, I have Campy dropouts front and rear. My plan is to match fairly closely the 65-67 Champion du Monde models which had a mix of French and Italian components. It has the short stack height so Stronglight headset...I have several around for that. I also have a Stronglight 63 crankset and a Campy Record rear derailleur too (the original, pre-Nuovo Record steel and bronze version) as well as Mafac Dural Forge brakes (all items on the Champion du Monde). Still waiting for Chas on the initiation of the foil era. Chas, are you placing start of foil era at 1968 based on the 1967 Gitane catalogue on GitaneUSA website? Thanks, really would like to hear from you. Mark
