| Did Gitane use reynolds 531 tubing in their early 1970s bikes? Looking for an appropriate tubing decal... |

The only models using Reynolds 531 in the "early 1970's" were the Tour de France, Super Corsa, and Gran Tourisme. Here is the spec sheet:

The Gran Sport did not use Reynolds, but rather straight-gauge steel tubing. |
