It is in France, unfortunately. But at 89 Euro??? What are they, crazy??? I guess it is all the way out in Brittany, but that would probably be worth the weekend "jaunt to the coast". I wish I lived in France. http://www.leboncoin.fr/sports_hobbies/139338599.htm?ca=7_s _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 5:58 am scozim Joined: 26 Sep 2008 Posts: 629 Location: Ellensburg, WA A little tall for me - but, crud, what an awesome price for that bike. _________________ 1984 Gitane Sprint 1984 Gitane Tour de France mid-1970's Gitane Olympic Plus many more http://eburgcycling.blogspot.com   Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 6:40 am lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 i wonder if this is a real team bike ? look at that number tab its real round and filed out . my 83 replica the tab is straight with a curve on the end . and the stikers arent on the side of the seat tube. 107 cranks master pro brakes simplex sj 6600 r derailleur simplex shifters . little to do to this bike .   Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 6:45 am lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 http://www.leboncoin.fr/sports_hobbies/138864431.htm?ca=7_s heres one i would like to get . the blue mtb with yellow stickers   Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:53 am sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California lofter wrote: i wonder if this is a real team bike ? look at that number tab its real round and filed out . my 83 replica the tab is straight with a curve on the end . and the stikers arent on the side of the seat tube. 107 cranks master pro brakes simplex sj 6600 r derailleur simplex shifters . little to do to this bike . I think it is...could be an optical illusion.

It looks like it has a Columbus sticker at the top of the seat tube, plus a Columbus sticker on the forks. It looks to be in original condition.

He tried to buy this...the seller was inundated with calls and a bidding war ensued. No idea what the final sale price was, but needless to say, it was more than the asking price! _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 11:12 am Gtane Joined: 14 Sep 2007 Posts: 681 Location: UK Stephan, I'm not surprised at all. It's a super machine. Those retro friction gear levers alone could have made close to the price of the bike itself on Ebay if presented well, not to mention the other kit. However, I'm not a breaker as I prefer complete, original machines. Just pointing that particular component out for comparison and interest purposes. No wonder the seller was deluged with calls. Good for them, I hope they sold well. Prices on that website have been creeping up over the last year with many bikes now seeing three and four figures. Thanks for the find. Tim PS Lofter, I like the shot of those MTBs. _________________ Everything has a cycle Columbus MTB   Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 9:59 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area lofter wrote: http://www.leboncoin.fr/sports_hobbies/138864431.htm?ca=7_s heres one i would like to get . the blue mtb with yellow stickers _________________ Chas.
