It's not much different and in fact the gitane is wider by a hair. It may have been massaged before, the frameset is pretty rough looking. Anyway, I flipped the anti rotation washers over and it went together well, but I wouldn't mind using the proper anti rotation washers designed for derailleur bikes as they do a better job of centering the wheel vertically.
