Listed as a 57cm NOS 1983 Team Pro Frame with Columbus SL tubing and Simplex dropouts.

Seller lists it as having 130mm rear spacing. Probably should be 126mm wide if it's a 1983.

No involvement just passing on info to the forum.

Wow. That is nice. Too bad it is for big people...and not a 54.

I could ride that size but... I already have 2 Gitanes to build up plus I need to finish reassembling my late 60s TdF. Confused

Is this the link?

If this is the one, it's stunning. Another great NOS find. Thanks Chas.

I'm not sure it's a 57cm. It looks much smaller. I have 54s that look about that size. It may even be a 53. The head tube looks far too small for a 57. However, if it's a low bottom bracket then it might be a 57. It depends on geometry. Any further thoughts on this?

Tim,

Yes that's the one. I forgot to post the eBay link, DOH! Embarassed

The seller lists the bike as 57cm center to top which is how Gitane used to measure their frames. That would make it about 55.5cm center to center.
