Lofter,
That's an odd advertisement.
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.

If you have a set of those decals, you should send a scan to Cyclomondo in Australia. I would love to get a set of those.... |

Hmm,
I have two 1984 Tour de France bikes.
A white paint job and some new decals... and voilą, a make over!
The frame would look correct too if I painted the fork! |

Hmm, too Chas!
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.

Or a formerly ugly red 1984 TdF!
Moi enfant batard d'un autre lit...
Her legitimate sister...
Their proud big brother...
Now wouldn't my red headed step child look better in bumblebee kit...???
I'd end up with a "tricolor" collection |
