Picked up another one today
Can anyone help me? I picked up some bikes forma lady today that wanted them removed form her place, so I got it free.
It is a Gitane Gypsy sport. I have done alot of looking online already but can't find anyting about it. It is in ridable condition as is but if it is worth it I will fix it up and use it myself. I am always looking for old bikes to fix up and am having a great time with it. Just wish I could find my own info so I didn't have to go begging for it. Any help would be great. Thanks guys and gals.

Wow no Gitane fans here I see. I like the size of this bike, it looks to be a good candidate for a touring bike. She is alot bigger than my Prelude.

Stacey - I for one would be glad to help, except I don't know a heck of a lot about Gitane's. Pictures seem to have a magical effect upon some of us here. If you could post some, and possibly a couple specific questions that you have, I think some of those missing fans might come out of the woodwork.

I'm a big fan of vintage Gitanes. I don't like my Peugeot PX10 so much any more since I built up my Tour de France. I joined that Gitane newsgroup long ago, but I'm not active because I can't deal with that newsgroup format. I've never been able to see any of the pictures that are supposed to be there somewhere. Set up a real website with a forum and I'll get active!

I am also a Gitane fan/owner, I just don't know much about them, 'cept that mine's "rocket red".
