Dream on.....
I GAR-ON-TEE you they used SEAMED gas pipe tubing with a 1.5mm wall thickness.
"tuyau de gaz".... Check out the seam in the chain stay. Never trust what marketoids write! The person who wrote the copy probably had no idea what seamless meant!
Gitane used mostly Lyotard pedals with 15mm flats. Some of the later Lyotard pedals with hex ends instead of 2 flats may have been 16mm.
The upper pedal has the 15mm flats that Lyotard used for decades, the lower one the hex. BTW, Lyotard pedals with gray/black oxide spindles were metric thread, silver ones were inch thread.
