Yours is newer than mine by a bit as you have the cut and bent seat stay caps as opposed to the Carre-atyle willow leaf which were dropped in 1970 best folks have been able to determine. You do still have the cable guide for center pull brakes though…interesting. I need to go back and search some other threads as well as gitaneusa website, not sure the cut outs on brake bridge has been mentioned as a potential identifier.
