70s Gitane TDF?

Hello All,

I recently purchased this 70s Gitane which the previous owner indicted was a TDF.

Can anyone confirm this? The rear dropouts are the Huret “honeycomb” and the fork ends are Campy. I didn’t think TDFs had Campy dropouts, but I know Gitane was using whatever they had on hand in the mid 70s.

Any ideas on the headset? Looks like a Stronglight but I can’t find a match for the model. I don’t have the proper size spanner for the lock ring. Maybe RFG?

It’s obviously been repainted and the original owner stated it was green prior to repaint.

Came with a steel 26.4 seatpost.
