The Interclub was Gitanes entry level "racing" bike. Closer geometry, tubular wheels and had their "Service Course" designation. There was a time when someone new to racing would purchase a bike like this as a beginner racer. I had an Interclub, with tubulars, weighed in around 26 pounds. Not heavy for a bike in the early 70's.
