I'd really like a repro in French but just can't seem to find one: _________________ Chad San Diego, CA   Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 3:14 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California That IS the French one. ...or are you trying to find a repro to put on there after a respray? _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 10:01 pm tjchad Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 67 Location: Southern California Stephan, I was referring to a replacement after respray. This one is a bit chewed up on the right side as well as having some paint spray on it from someone spray painting near the bike t looks like. _________________ Chad San Diego, CA   Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 10:12 pm Kinst VonSterga Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 153 Location: Hillsboro, Oregon USA For the 60s set, I am working on a very accurate reproduction of these decals (as they were extremely hard to come by).

Could it say "3-Tubes" and then add the stays?[/quote] yes... f.w.i.w. I have a small stash of "dry fix" (rub-on) 531 transfers both English and French, including fork transfers that I've kept for personal projects. There was a lot of variation in them apparently and I'm no expert though I've even found a french-language transfer on my original Frejus!! It seems folks aren't too innerested in the old rubons anymore though since the trend is to cali-style overfinishing and then slathering clear over (usually) Cyclomondo graphics   Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 8:41 am tjchad Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 67 Location: Southern California Are these the correct decals for an '87-ish Team Professional? http://cgi.ebay.com/Gitane-set-decals-vintage-/300369374582?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45ef68ed76 _________________ Chad San Diego, CA 87 Team Pro Decals   Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:19 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area Close enough... Gitane used those decals on their top 3 models in 1984 then went back to them for the Team Pro bike pictured in their 1987 catalog which was issued by Cycles Gitane here in the US. http://www.gitaneusa.com/images/catalog/1987_pg2.jpg In 1975 and 76 they used a different.... very different style decal. That's all I'll say about them. http://www.gitaneusa.com/images/catalog/1986/1986French2.jpg _________________ Chas.

You'll be happy to know the bike is fixed no more... but has an ugly stem right now. _________________ Chad San Diego, CA French Reynolds sticker (odd language) - confirmed     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Vintage Gitane You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours   Page 2 of 2   Goto page Previous  1, 2 All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Gitane USA----------------Vintage GitaneGitane RacingModern GitanePro Racing - Classics/Giro/Tour....Owner Gallery   Powered by phpBB © 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed for Trushkin.net | Themes Database.
