I guess if it means anything, the second break would point to a less than perfect repair the first time.

Good grief, I need to stop checking this thread. Thats twice now I've ended up buying one because of it. I told myself after I sold the last Merckx that if a similar one came up in my size, I'd buy it.

I don't understand this one the bike is a nothing special entry level department store model made in Taiwan really only worth about half the asking price. Plus based on experience these are lousy riders.

Seller just dropped the price by $50, so maybe there's more room to negotiate.

It's a buyers market, go go go!

Here's a 70s Gitane TdF frame/fork in 60cm, gold like mine. Rougher condition than mine, but it would make a great build bike:

I do have a set of 7 speed silver dura-ace downtube shifters if anyone gets the bike and wants to match. i'd trade you for the blued ones..

It's actually a 630 model, not a 930 (SN and paint/decals confirm), but it's still 531 and an early vintage Trek. Bike looks in pretty nice original shape. $300 is hard to go wrong at all.

Great price for a Gitane TdF. Looks like the front and rear derailleurs have been replaced, but otherwise stock.
