I relisted with a start price because ebay charges around seven dollars for a reserve auction and it could add up week after week. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320934610013?ssPageName=STRK: ... |

Considering selling my 58cm 1980 Gitane Tricolore.
It is made from either Vitus 971 or 980. There's a sticker of each kind.
It was NOS when I bought it. The anodizing is hardly scraped throug ... |

| Here's some pics of what I now believe to be a 1980 Tricolor. It is staying as close to stock as I can manage. However, I put in a 26.8 seatpost which should indicate the 26.4 one was bad, and as I' ... |

| As far as your dropouts are concerned, Gitane was notorious for using whatever dropouts (or other components) they had on hand (or at least it appears that way)...Maybe they sourced unmarked dropouts ... |

| 971 on the frame, 980 on the fork, both of which however are available online. The tubing sure looks like thin stuff and the bike is not that heavy, but no bike I can see in the 1980 catalog should h ... |

Macdavepro's bike doesn't have eyelets, and he is the OP. I found this thread searching on "tricolore". I am not the OP.
The seller of my bike said he got a few old bikes and parts left ... |

| Now I'm confused. I have a bike which looks just like page 11 of the 1980 French Gitane catalog gauging from the parts. The rear derailleur is stamped "SLJ" and the derailleurs have the li ... |

Thank you for the help. I have already pulled the seatpost up and pulled it toward the stem as hard as I could, then removed it, so the slight bulge doesn't show anymore.
I am concerned, however ... |

| Do you have any idea whether it might be safe to use provided I install a seatpost which fits the seat tube and perhaps add a clamp around the bulged part? |

Is it possible a 1980 Super Vitus 971 Criterium required a 26.6 seatpost rather than a 26.4 because of 0.7mm thick 28mm tubing? (28-0.7-0.7=26.6)
Is it possible the lug rotated backward a bit and l ... |
