This Gitane mixte is said to have been ridden in the Tour de France!
"The top tube has scrapes to the finish as expected due to its being used for racing in Tour De France."

I wonder why they didn't mention the hour record (the first item on the seat tube sticker)? |

World's fastest mixte. Who was the rider? 
Another clueless eBay seller. Most of these sellers don't respond to suggestions correcting their mis-information and some even get confrontational.

Hilarious. Well, it just goes to prove the old saying, buyer beware.
It's actually quite a nice looking bike with reasonable equipment but it's definitely, and quite categorically, never ever ridden Le Tour. I feel that I can say that with some certainty.
It's a right mixte up description. |
