Hello to the forum.
I wonder if anyone can help identify this Gitane bicycle that I have the opportunity to buy. The bike appears to be new and unused, simply stored in its original box. Any pointers would be gratefully received, as I have been unable to identify the model and I am not sure what is is worth value wise?
Thanks in advance
Dave

Hi
So after doing some extensive research it seems that the bike is a 1978 Gitane Super Sprint.
I have now bought the bike and am waiting for it to be delivered from the Netherlands to me in the UK. |

Good looking bike. Based on the specs it should be a good rider also. |
