Rubber cement is a great idea. I've used it neat and it's good too.

Thanks Chas, I've updated the URL to the US site which is now in line with the sockets.
The cleaned up images look much better and good to know that it's a late '70s model. Nice 1st generation SR r ... |

Lovely machine. The Mavic groupset (looks like the SSC) is very hard to come by. Pity about the mismatched brake calipers but one SSC version is at least there.

Here's a very nice Gitane indeed. Possibly late '70s / early '80s and possibly 531p, but does look rather like sl but it's tough to say (any further thoughts/ideas?) and with some terrific components ... |

Great buy. That's definitely a special machine, and well found by Scott. That was a keen eye.
Many aspects of the machine compare favourably to Greg Lemond's team machine. Here's a shot - http://t ... |

For me, the conclusion is still up in the air but the information combined makes for interesting perspectives.
Scott, you're right about the materials, people and frame building, and who made what, ... |

Stephan,
I agree with you regards clarity but it's also interesting to see what has been declared. Most interesting.
The same is true of cars - same chassis different bodywork and name, but it' ... |

Stephan,
Sure, I agree with those points and it's great to have the info. from the interview.
Cyfac began in 1982 so it could well have been that the founder worked either on his own or that his ... |

There's an article on PezCycling News all about Cyfac's philosophy and an interview with their Product Manager where he mentions frames going to the entire Gitane Team. He talks about them being ultr ... |

Wisey,
That's a very special ride and all that additional detail makes for a unique machine.
With the new UCI design restriction rules the only differences will effectively be colour and graphic ... |

Scott,
Cyfac, France, made many pro bikes but we're unlikely to know how many and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they did make machines branded Gitane for all or some of the top rid ... |

Just seen this. Looks interesting. Odd transfers on the bike (says Gios on the top tube) but the ad is for a 1988 753 Maxi Sports bike. It could have been resprayed. It certainly has Campag Deltas ... |
