Bikes: Our all steel stable: Rodriguez, Ritchey & Bruce Gordon road tandems; Burley pub crawler tandem; two XO-1s, two Fishers, a Comp & Mt Tam; two Gitane TeamPros; 60s Carre; 69-70 Gitane TdF and

...and just so folks can visualize, here is a Gitane with Carre-style seat stay "caps" and foil era decals...but also notice Nervex lugs which are last mentioned in "1966" pricelist as provided by GitaneUSA (I think that pricelist is also likely mis-dated as Anquetil was nor riding a Gitane in 1966). This frame is marked as a "100" on fork which dates this foil era bike to before 1968 when the entire line of Gitanes were renumbered from 100s to 500s and that is why we see the cut-off decals on later Gitane TdFs….the number "102" was no longer applicable. Last pic is of a pre-1968 TdF fork where decal has not been cut-off.
