Lots of little nicks in the paint but, overall, looks like a really nice bike.

I figured that this would bring you out almost as fast as a Delta! I use Firefox and couldn't see the specs at the bottom of the listing. I was wondering how big this was. Wow, 58cm is over the top for me. There are some other interesting Gitanes on US eBay: For starters there is this almost all original early 70s Gitane Track Standard that the seller says has lived a charmed live in a velodrome. It's been updated with an alloy cotterless crank: http://tinyurl.com/yffcmny Then there is the early 70s Interclub in the rare black color: http://tinyurl.com/yke5y2e Next is the 1991 "Gara" frame from a French seller. There's no model listed in the early 90s Gitane catalog section by that name. There were a number of lower priced racing models that had the 3 main tubes made of Columbus "Gara" straight gage chrome moly tubing. http://tinyurl.com/ydn36sf Here's another one from a French seller. This is an interesting mid ring French racing model in a very small 48.5cm size. the frame is made of Vitus 181 which was a chrome molly alloy tubing similar to Reynolds 501. http://tinyurl.com/yzstrlt The last one of note is this aluminum frame only (no forks) from OZ. http://tinyurl.com/yzfqlx8 There are several MTB frames and an Aerotub 102 (gas pipe) frame. _________________ Chas.

I kind of figured you were snow bound! I got out for a little bit yesterday afternoon. Had my latest project out for a few short test rides. This is my 1969 TdF that I bough for $200 about 2 years ago. I've been gradually overhauling it since then. This was the first time out and it rides pretty nice! Before - with a 20 year layer of accumulated grime After 2 years... More pictures when it's gets sunny again! We're in the midst of our rainy season. _________________ Chas.

Chas., I don't know why you can't see all of Alex's Profil listing. I use Firefox also and have no problem. What I find interesting is that he increased his shipping charge from when he first posted it by $100.+. It was originally $220 shipping to USA when I first saw it. My size but no interest.

I'm continually amazed at how reasonably won many complete bikes are. There is little fathoming on my part as to final price.
