the decals on the OP's "Get Away" frame are a style Gitane used later (maybe early '80s?) than the logo in the magazine ad

Gitane Cycles - weird chrome bike & frame - bike boom maybe? Help identify... - Traveler thread. No surprises that it's Verktyg's post #7 with the good info (mentions '73 & '74)
