The decal on the fork (for model 100) would indicate that it may be a Champion du Monde model. Also the frame is Reynolds 531 which would say it is a better frame than the Grand Sport. My guess is that it is from the mid 1960's.

I agree with Jay except that Gitane started using those style foil decals at the end of 1967 to early 1968.
The bike has Huret dropouts and derailleurs. Gitane didn't use Stronglight 49 cranks very much after the mid 60s.
The brazed-on generator mount would seem to indicate that the bike was a cyclotouriste or randonneur model rather than a racing bike.
Whatever it is, the bike is a top end model for that era. The Reynolds tubing should make for a nice riding bike.
It was a model probably made for the domestic French market only.
Nice bike! |
