ps that benotto tape was a pain in the a*s to fit need more practice! brake

Here's a picture of my 1984 Team Pro forks. This was taken by the former owner who acquired the bikes with all Campy SR components.
I swapped him a 58cm 1985-86 Professional frame for this 54.5cm 1984 Team Pro which was too small for him.
Here it sits with baited breath waiting to hit the road again.
When I get around to it, I'm going to build it up with all French components.
BTW, the mystery numbers on the bottom bracket are 75916 55 12 3 8
My guess is that 75916 was an internal Gitane production number, 55 the size and it was built on 12-8-1983??? |

So lofter, maybe your's and mine are cousins, 510 bikes apart!
So going by my guesses:
bowser's frame 15406 is a 60cm made on 11-3-1983
My frame 759516 is a 55cm made on 12-8-1983
lofter's frame 75406 is a 57cm made on... oh never mind! There's just no logic to Gitane numbers! |

Bowser,
Excellent job, great photos too. That blue is very striking and so iconic with these machines.
Enjoy the first proper ride.
