Matador6, I don't currently have a scan but I have a mid-60s Geminiani catalog that is EXACTLY the same as what GitaneUSA indicates is a 1967 Gitane catalog save the name of the brand::http://www.gitaneusa.com/images/cata...67-Cat-001.jpg
I mean exactly the same except for name on cover....Geminiani bikes at this time were clearly MICMO bikes along with Gitane.

I know you are looking for 1965 and earlier … I think GitaneUSA's date of catalog is off (they are basing on pencil marks on cover which has been erased and rewritten) as I also have a 1965 photograph of Ford-Gitane team and the image of the Model "No. 100" in both the Geminiani and Gitane catalogs is ALSO used on border of 1965 team photograph.
