I have an older Gitane catalog. I see a 3/68 on it. I will assume this is the date. I will try to get it scanned and sent on this winter. What sort of resolution and file size are you looking for on the scans?

My first 10-speed was a low-end Gitane. What a piece of sh... ah, fine French engineering! Years later, I picked up a fully Campagnolo Tour De France. Couldn't wait to unload that piece of cra... bicycling history!
