When folks want to date their Gitanes, as we all learned from Chas, a key element to photo for the peanut gallery is the seat cluster to see both the seat stay finish and presence of brake bridge…lots of photos here but not one close up of this key area….zooming in, certainly a cut and squashed swagged finish as opposed to the Carre-like willow leaf cap from this bike boom-era of Gitane…and no brake bridge. Both the willow leaf cap and brake brake bridge were gone by 1971…the Nervex Dubois fork crown as opposed to earlier Nervex Pro crown places this bike at 1972 or later.
