Longoria,

I Photo Shopped your picture:




Your bike is probably a 1972 or 1973 Gitane Super Corsa.

Gitane measured their frames from the center of the cranks to the top of the set tube. Your bike is a 54cm size frame. I've only ever seen one other Super Corsa in the Criterium Violet color. It looks very nice.


Here's some information from the Gitane Catalog:

How much is it worth?

With these parts it's probably worth about $500 to $700 USD.

The bike originally had Campagnolo NR pedals, and seat post with an Ideale 90 leather saddle.

It probably had Mafac Completion center pull brakes.

The stem and bars were Pivo brand.

No entiendo "Another dude, what means the EDA engraving on tube crank"?


The serial number is on the left dropout. It is not important.

Sugino and SR (Sakae/Ringyo) were two different Japanese companies. They both made cranks and seatposts. They also made cranks for Suntour.

SR merged with Suntour and went out of business. There is a new company in Taiwan, SR Suntour but it's not related to the old companies.

Sugino still makes cranks in japan.
