I greet all of the forum, I have a Gitane but I do not know anything about him, he stood more than 25 years in the attic and I took him out just the other day and saw that beneath the dust hides a good bike, unfortunately the label has only one on the front fork, can anyone tell me something about the bike, thank you!

postscript : I do not mind writing the translator, my English is bad

Dobar dan. Pozdrav, dobrodošli na Gitane Forum.

(for Anglophones: Good day. Greetings, welcome to the Gitane Forum)

Your bike is probably between a 1979 and 1983 model.

Maybe a Sprint #3920 or a Super Challenge model.

Gitane made differently equipped models for specific markets: France, The UK, the US, Canada, Germany, Eastern Europe and so on.

To izgleda kao lijep bicikl. Gotovo novi...

(It looks like a nice bike. Nearly new...)

Uživati, do viđenja....

(Enjoy, Goodbye)

after a request on my bike I found a forum that the number underneath the pedal is interpreted as the year, month and day of manufacture, if I understand correctly, I turned the bike and there found the Serial number and the number 4178 and the letter D, I will become the image that we clarify further if possible, I would have to get stickers

thanks for the reply




croatian

poslje zamolbe o mom biciklu naišao sam na forumu da se broj ispod pedala tumači kao godina , mjesec i dan proizvodnje , ako sam dobro razumio, okrenuo sam bicikl i tamo našao seriski broj i broj 4178 i slovo D , postat ču sliku da mi pobliže razjasnite ako je moguće , želio bi si nabaviti naljepnice

hvala za odgovor

Gitane "serial numbers" have no meaning and were not traceable.

They may be your lucky "LOTTO" number. Laughing
