center of bottom bracket to center of seat tube/top tube junction: 60cm

there are numbers on the bottom!!
I have never seen a Gitane Traveller before.
The serial number looks like 3463 485 ( or 405).
The first four characters are a date code:
3 - day of the week
46 - week of the year, which translates to month November.
3 - year of manufacture, 1973.
This is a typical Gitane serial number for the year 1973.
