Great Gitane story! Just a 'lucky' eBay find for me ... after diligent searching for 2 years or so
Searched 100s of period race photos to figure out the correct period components and about a year to find them all, right down to the correct TdF Coca Cola water bottle (the one in the foto is not correct, just a newer one I use. The real one if too valuable to use).
It's a blast to ride - full-on old skool!
edit: the frame came out of Calif, so maybe it was one of your old club frames?? Anybody ride a 52
