I just bought a bike for my 3 yr old son at a farm sale, i didn't know that 5 other bikes came with it. They are all old 70's and 80's road bikes. Can anyone give me any info on a Gitane grand sport deluxe road bike, i think its from the 70's it looks to be all original i rode the bike and it rode great. I'm going to sell it cause i won't ride it, but I need info on it first, like what would it be worth, where would be a good place to advertise it, years they made this bike, and anything else i could find out about it. Thanks JD

Most likely an early to mid 1970's vintage bicycle. The Grand Sport DeLuxe was the entry level Gitane, made for commuters and students. They aren't particularly valuable, probably in the $50-$200 range, depending on the condition. Here is a link to the page from the early 1970's catalogue regarding the bicycle:

Don't do that. That would be a pity. I would advertise it on ebay and see if it sells.
