First post. White Gitane. Anybody have any other info on it? I'm guessing it's a 70's model?

Sweet McLaren! I would have stopped and admired as well. I will spot vintage/classic/exotics as they drive past on the highway, which irritates the wife. She thinks it wise for me to keep my eyes on the road.

Here's my Centurion Elite RS. I need to snap some better pics of it. I love the way it rides.

Never mind the French bike. Where in the heck is that sidewalk to heaven? :>

Looks like maybe a Gitane Interclub ?

Edit: Or more probably, a Gran Sport.

I was wondering the same thing. Very wide, in the middle of nowhere it seems, and goes on forever. Definitely makes for a neat photo.

Every time one of these threads pops up I hesitate to contribute because I run a big risk of overexposure.

Oh, what the heck?



The Waterford is intended to be a modern version of this '72 P15-9.

Robbie, that Hot Tubes is bad-ass - particularly that blade of an aero bar. Sexy

My '69 Raleigh Sports. Sporting (haha) a new Crane brass bell and much "beausage," as Grant Peterson would say, but mechanically she's sound. I should know- I rebuilt everything, including the AW hub, this past winter. What a joy to ride!
