Hi fellas
…….from the UK.
If anyone can help with dating/model/tubing would be much appreciated.
I have s/s bike bought a few years ago and was told it is a Gitane ‘race’ frame.
No transfers/decals. And most of the parts are mongrel.
The brake callipers maybe original are unbranded ‘chunky’ arm side pull.
And the skewers are ‘Campy’.
The more discernible clues that it may be a Gitane are:
Stamped ‘Vitus’ dropouts and internally routed rear brake cable.
‘Hidden’ seat post bolt.
ITM head stem embossed with ‘Cycle Gitiane ’.
And ‘Stronglight France’ head set.
The finish is a mottled silvery/grey/blue. The chain stay on the drive side is chromed.
I’m guessing the frame dates from the late ‘80’s?.
Cheers, Paul |
