1970's Gitane Tour de France

     

58cm c-c. Components included a Pat 71 campagnolo derailleur. Blue is faded but buffing produced a nice shine.9/07 - gonna try the Simplex derailleurs, and a Nervar Star crank (with a big 54 ring... guess those french were animals, eh ??) Racer brakes and shorty hooded levers, Ideale seat (nice shape) ,and white Michelins from Cafe Velo - this bucket of rust turned out better than I'd thought !! Nervex Lugs.
