Gitane mystery model bike:
The vert. dropouts labeled Gitane are the ones on my early 70s Gitane and I'd been looking for a web reference. Mine are stamped "Huret" and I wonder if anyone knows what Gitane model they appeared on, or any other bikes they were on.
Bought my Gitane NOS in the late 70s and it had all French stuff (Stronglight, Huret Jub., Mafac) and it seems like it didn't have a model name on the frame, but I might have forgotten.
The Gitane TdFs I've seen from that era had campagnolo components and had regular shaped horizontal ends, although my frame does have the same (chromed) fork crown you see on TdFs from then. ___________________ You have to love those really fat Pacenti trackends on the Page. My preference for trackends runs to the fat and rounded. Used to see bent ends on older thin-trackended english bikes, even Holdsworths, and like a trackend you can't bend. Never warmed to the straight lower edge of the campag trackend, but love the rounded shape of the Columbus trackends. Looks like a lady pacman ready to munch wheelsuckers.
