Looking forward to following your rebuilding efforts and photos!
Spent the past Saturday riding in Newport, RI with youngest daughter and wife. Daughter, age 25, was riding a 1972 Gitane Super Corsa that I had bought and restored for her this spring (one of my numerous pandemic projects). Although very new to riding vintage bikes and unfamiliar with shifters on the downtube, she started riding “no hands” and said out loud “I have found a bike that is made for me!”
there is something magical about these old French bikes!
Good luck with your project!
