I will have to double check, but I think that my Wife's Gitane Interclub, from about 1976 has the same Huret dropouts. A friend of mine had what I thought was a Super Corsa (Coursa?), that was full Campy NR, I think. That was an orange bike with some foil decals, if I recall correctly - but it had campy dropouts. I distinctly remember when he got that bike and the two of us trying in vain to count how many times the word or logo of Campagnolo appeared on the bike! It was a big number, for sure. The Interclub of course has only the 3 main tubes in 531, but a very solid bike that my wife still rides and is very comfortable on. We ill advisedly removed almost all of the Gitane decals the day we brought it home - from Mike Kolins? shop in Ann Arbor, Mi - in the ominous shadow of the "big house" - in an effort to achieve a cleaner, uncluttered look, which we did. Needless to say, those particular decals were unencombered by a clear coat - they just peeled right off! But I digress... Richard Rose (6-7 fresh inches of the white stuff in Toledo, Ohio), Rose
