I know Mucho's happy with his bikes, but......

Gitane were one of "THE" bikes to get back ye olde days.
I recently saw an '04 catalogue, and not only are they making the cheap alu
stuff, they also make kids bikes!!

Could you imagine Colnago or Pinarello puting out a product line like the current
Gitane stuff?

Before you flame me, Munch, I know they ride well and are great value for money, etc, etc,
but in the the 80s they were one of my dream bikes.
