There was an interesting story on FB page last week where I guy got possession of a later midish level '80s Gitane with the decals in the wrong place. He proceeded to strip it to repaint and unpon more research came to learn it was bike built for Martina Navratilova to her specs. Becareful what you paint with out good identification
