Thanks Antoine for this nice bike. Could not resist another Camus tube "aero" bike that came up last week. You guys probably saw it but since I was near Nantes it was OK for around 140$ plus it came with another full set of wheels (Mavic hubs/super champion rims)

Bike is a 1982 Vigorelli and pretty much original except for the Mavic hubs and wheels and fat tires. The aero brake levers are not original but the rest probably is. Original black paint

Bike needs rebuild but everything is straight and it rides fine.

Beautiful! Once again I'm jealous of those of you dwelling in France. I live vicariously through you with these bikes.

Normal scrapes and fork has some chrome pealed off. Since it is non metallic black, it will be easy to touch up when it stops raining here which will be in several months as usual.

Here are some close ups of lugs and the frame is actually nicely made compared to my other Gitanes.

Front head/stear tube Gitane decal was replaced by what I think was the original dealer sticker (Dijon) which is also on the seat tube.
