Here's my favorite FG beater ever, a c.1971 Gitane TdF with a Phil BB, Stronglight 93s, Weinmann 500 sidepulls, a Zeus top nut on a Stronglight P3 headset, Kogswell sealed bearing hubs laced to Mavic MA-3s and some Pasela 28 mm tires. I originally built it to be a bike I took on vacation and it has become my favorite grab and go bike for early morning rides ...

This was my SS beater. It was a 74ish ccm I miss it :'( hopefully the person I sold it to is actually enjoying it. I'm really wanting a road bike with wide 26\" wheels again (not an anchor like this tho.)
sorry for the fuzzy pic lol
