Help me ID this Gitane
I'm thinking of buying this Gitane but have no info and one pic to go from. I know it has Suntour barcons but that's it. After a lot of looking, I am leaning towards maybe Olympic Record II?
What do you think?

c.1974-76 Grand Sport Deluxe with replaced shifters and brake levers - or with the extension levers removed and either the pins cut down or replaced and then hoods fitted. Basic entry level bike with steel cottered cranks - of course, the SunTour barcons are cool ....
