I will vouch for the statement that Gitane did use SunTour derailleurs on some of their lower end bikes. Tour de France models all had Simplex due to the Simplex dropouts and Super Corsas used Campagnolo. I had a SunTour equipped Gran Sport Deluxe many years back.

As far as replacement jockey wheels go-Can those generic ones be used? I think I have some and I will check later to see if they fit.
