Early 60's Gitane Info
Hi all,
I've picked up a Gitane which I'm pretty sure is early 60's and built for the French market, then imported, or special ordered to the US. The Gitane forums are basically dead at this point from what I can tell, so was hoping to glean what I could here. It looks to be all Reynolds tubing, including tall head tube for the Campy headset. Rear drop outs are Campy, and rear derailleur is a Campy Gran Sport. The GS ceased production in '63 I think, but I've heard they were still being put on bikes for years after that. Stronglight Crank which was obviously super common for years.
I would have guesses a Super Corsa/Olympic if it was a later bike, but I can't find much on the French models of this time. The 102 was the TdF level I believe, could be a 100?
Appreciate any insight.
