Just putting this out there...

Thinking about selling my Gitane.
58cm squared, located in the Bay Area, CA.
Hit me up for specs if interested.

Its just dawning on me that Ive spent a lot of money on it.
Oh well.
Rides great too.

How are the Atala/Carleton builds coming? We still haven't even seen the whole frame yet, they must be nice and shiny by now.

Yup, exactly like that but without the whitewall on the rubber. Is that a track bar on your Ciocc? Looks nice.

It's a Cinelli Criterium bar. I like them, but the curve makes it a little tough to ride on the brake hoods.
Riding in the drop section is great.

I looked at the rims again, next to Omega they say Strada Hardox.

edit: actually looking at the photo, you just have the hoods way too low on the bar. the traditional way i learned to do it is make the very end of the brake lever parallel with the bottom of the drops.
