Hi - I'm wondering how many Gitane owners are still riding on tubular tires? Many, if not most, of the TDF's and Super Corsas sold in the US seemed to come set up with tubulars. I've always swapped a ... |

Chas - I agree! These are great riders, but I also think they are fantastic to look at. They bring me back to the day when handmade things actually looked handmade. I actually don't mind the slight ... |

Thank you for the advice on touching up the paint. I agree that a good "5 ft. look" is the desired result, not a full concours restoration... Had a great 15 mile ride on Sunday morning; li ... |
