The bike in the picture (indeed the actual photo too) was advertised on the Leboncoin site a few weeks ago, we even discussed it and how good the bike was. Here's the thread although the Leboncoin advertisement has since been taken down - http://www.gitaneusa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1531 As for the bike, it would be a super machine to get. I wonder if the seller/buyer has the bike? Well done on the transfers, I saw a set on Ebay France about 3 years ago.

Here's the rogue example that springs to mind - http://tinyurl.com/2fqkqrd This may become a real problem as demand for older machines increases. Trying to detect the true differences will be tricky between tube manufacturers and variants where there is no original transfer applied from the factory or workshop or where a replacement has been stuck. Secondhand resprays can potentially be a troublesome area. Of course there are small details here and there but generally, it might become much tougher to know for sure what one is really buying.
