I just picked up a Gitane from Goodwill in Austin. Vitus steel frame tubes, Simplex Bernard Hinault (the Badger) deraileurs, downtube friction shifters, very comfortable Concor America saddle(has a cool flag reflector built in), Weinmann brakes, Mavic wheels. Probably mid 80's. From the looks of the drivetrain, the bike was ridden very little. Cleaned it and tuned it up. Rides like new.
