Seller lists it as having 130mm rear spacing. Probably should be 126mm wide if it's a 1983. No involvement just passing on info to the forum.

Too bad it is for big people...and not a 54. _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com Too many bikes already!   Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:07 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area I could ride that size but... I already have 2 Gitanes to build up plus I need to finish reassembling my late 60s TdF.

Another great NOS find. Thanks Chas. I'm not sure it's a 57cm. It looks much smaller. I have 54s that look about that size. It may even be a 53. The head tube looks far too small for a 57. However, if it's a low bottom bracket then it might be a 57. It depends on geometry. Any further thoughts on this?

I forgot to post the eBay link, DOH! The seller lists the bike as 57cm center to top which is how Gitane used to measure their frames. That would make it about 55.5cm center to center.
