Yes, that is what some people do. But, I only restore mine with the exact components and leave it in condidtion riders left it in. In any case, value is very subjective to brand, rider and history. |

It seems that this bent fork is a trend. I've seen several fixed gears in Lyon and Paris with this configuration, but it doesn't surprise me as anything goes with these bikes. Did you see Paul Smith's ... |

Yes, you are probably correct about it not being something Gitane put together. Thanks for the identity on the possible year of the frame. I am trying to get a history of it from the guy I bough it fr ... |

Stumbled on this frame while looking for more vintage bikes here in France. I thought it could be a rare find as it was a Vitus 979 Duralinox frame with some pretty well-done Gitane ... |

I am just looking for the elusive 1984 Team Pro. If you run across one, I am buyer. But, here is a 1978 Team Pro with campy components for sale in Toulouse.

No problem! Will do it with some friends.
I think this bike may be a vintage Super Olympic. But, I couldn't confirm with the owner selling it whether or not these Campy components were ori ... |

Thanks for the analysis. Yes, it is very hard to find any top end Gitane bikes like a Team Pro here in France from any year. The "working class" just focused on the frame and wheels ... |

Thanks for the update. I spent nearly 12 years in San Francisco before moving to Europe in 1998. Did you see the new design Peugeot came out with for a concept bike? Peugeot also came out with ... |

Thanks for the detailed analysis. You are right about the two frames being from different categories. These are the details I didn't know about before buying these bikes.

Could you take a closer picture of the Super Olympic in the 1975 catalogue. As Chas indicates the devil is in the details. There are just very small differences in these years. I can't tel ... |

Yes, that is possible. But, you are talking about 150-200 EUROs per bike shipped individually. Unless we filled a container with used Gitane's it doesn't make much sense unless the value to yo ... |
