Picked up a white '72 Gitane Grand Sports Deluxe in rather sad shape and have stripped it down to usable parts to rebuild. The frame had lots of surface rust, badly faded foil decals and a coating of spray paint, but no damage. So far have stripped the frame, primed it, and applied a first coat of pearl white automotive paint to fork and frame. Off to the paint store today to get another can of paint and clear coat. Ordered a new decal set, and should be putting it back together next week. Will post pictures as soon as I hit my newbie 10 posts.
