| Had Gitane like this in early 80's but with non aero levers. But I don't think it can be shipped for the price listed unless it is just thrown into a box without protection so be careful. |

| I was wondering if the frame is really Columbus tubing. It looks more like the Vitus tubing on my Criterium I wonder if it has had a repaint, I am not knowledgeable enough to know. That is what I was seeking, an answer to that question. |

| In the US catalogs the only Columbus framed bike was supposedly the Team Pro. This doesn't look like a Team Pro. If it's a French model it could very well be Columbus tubing. I noticed the dropouts are Vitus. It's got quite the mix of parts on it. |

| Rear hanger is Vitus so maybe. Surprised that the price has gone so high. |

Where is Chas when we need him most!
I just hope someone is not going to get ripped off thinking they are buying something that it is not! |

I could be wrong but the bars "Guid" are from the '70's. The Pedals cxc maybe but on these cranks?
I have seen listed Vitus dropouts with Columbus tubes.
Did these nice campy hubs come on a bike with Huret derailleurs?
Pretty bike though anyway. |
