Hi fellow Gitaniacs,
Just a quick reminder, if I may, that higher-end Gitane models sharing the same names differed/overlapped between those produced for mainland Europe and North America.
That said, why did they choose to call Olympics - Super or otherwise - Corsas for North American markets? Could it have been to suggest a more exotic Italian rather than French image? We might never know.
Whatever we call them, I just love these classic bikes...
