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 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! _________________ Chas.

That blue is very striking and so iconic with these machines. Enjoy the first proper ride.
