Help identify Gitane
 

Probably a (1970??)Grand Sport Deluxe, Gitane's answer to Peugeot's UO-8 entry level bike. Came with chrome plated, steel rims. Pictured one has newer saddle(good) and may have alloy rims (good'r). They sold for around $80 US new, which is about $519 adjusted for inflation. Weakness was Plastic Delrin Derailleur bodies. Front is usually broken & hopefully replaced. Rear worked OK for quite a while but will eventually need replaced also. Around here, seller would be asking more but $130 could get, so is a good price if DR's & steel rims are good or have been replaced. Don

Should have referred you to the Clunker 100 challenge thread where you can see my 1973 Gitane GS Mixte entry: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...e-100-4-a.html Don

Thanks very much
