Nice bike! Gitane for sure, and probably a Champion du Monde, as the TdF was officially dumbed down to 531 main frame only for the U.S. market. The fishmouth stay ends and chrome are usually a sign of 531 stays for Gitanes. Not sure at all about the headset - I would have expected a Stronglight P3, but I don't think that's what you have; I'm not seeing the toothed sections like the RFG on my Liberia. I'll have to wait for [MENTION=61614]verktyg[/MENTION] or [MENTION=333224]juvela[/MENTION] to weigh in on this one!
