To ease the pain, I'm taking delivery of a new frame this week  To quote George Jefferson, I'm movin' on up. To the top of the Gitane food chain. Not planned, I just happened to find a rare 1984 Team Pro in my size! I'll be swapping the components off of my '85 Pro and selling that frame. There's some mystery surrounding these frames. One being the Columbus SL "Competition" tubing. Varying opinions on what tubing it actually is. I'll be doing some detective work on that along with a long-time framebuilder who is very familiar with 80s Columbus tube sets. |
Wooow! Top tier cool. I thought they used Reynolds. So if its Italian tubing, are the dropouts Campagnolo?

Since were on the French road bike theme, I stripped down the budget Motobecane GS. Po man style. Going for a change into a faux early 70's team BIC in orange. Will also get the vintage font / graphics. Nothing really special about it but just neat enough to draw a look or two and be a fun rider.
Not going nutz for the components either and just keeping what it has for now. Only if the near like or correct parts come along for a song will I swap them out. I'm patient for parts but not for riding. I want to ride it now!
