I took the 84 Tdf and finished in 3 hrs 13 minutes. The only negative was the wide gear spacing on the 13-26 6 spd freewheel and the 40 degree F starting temperature. Other than that it was a great ride to start winding down the riding year with. _________________ 1984 Gitane Sprint 1984 Gitane Tour de France mid-1970's Gitane Olympic Plus many more http://eburgcycling.blogspot.com   Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 6:39 am overfedlonghairedgnome Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 64 Location: Antelope Valley, CA Sounds like a great ride although a little chilly for me! You can sell me that 13-26 if you want!
