I bought this bike just for the seat but it cleaned up so nice that I kept the bike too.







1991 Gitane Avenir with "glow" paint. The saddle is a cheap Spanish copy of the Italia Turbo Bio. But it is the original Gitane piece.



Low mile bike 100% original down to the tires except for my redo with my favorite Pelton Shade bar tape. Real original tape has bigger dots!

Ahh, the '90s!

Actually, the paint looks much better than I thought it did when I saw that stuff in the catalogue.

If anyone is interested, you can buy a yellow/black version of this saddle here - or very similar. Crono, made in Spain.

I have bought stuff from Mario in the past and have found him to be reliable. No other connection with the seller.

Real bike is much nicer than the Gitane catalogue photo and was surprised
when I picked up the bike.

I have bought many parts from Mario and he is excellent. He does not have
anything but the yellow version.
