That's the bike I desperately wanted when I was 15. I got the Victoire instead as I couldn't afford the Performance. Free shipping to Australia? Wink

My vote is that you keep it, sell the Bianchi,and ride the Gitane.

I agree with Stephan. Except for the top few models, Bianchis are a dime a dozen (but way overpriced on eBay) especially the Asian produced models.

Gitanes from the mid 70s on were not real common in the US compared to the "Big 4" European makers, Raleigh, Pujoe, Moto and Bianchi.

The mid range and up Gitanes are really great riding bikes too! Cool

Chas. 11 Gitanes and 3 "B" bikes.... Wink
