Your ad for a Gitane Hosteller made me chuckle. I worked for Wheel Goods in Minneapolis in early 70s. They were a distributor for Gitane and they also had their house brand of bikes, Hosteller. The thing I remember most about the Hosteller was that was the first mixte frame with twin side by side small diameter top tubes I ever saw. I was unaware that Gitane had made a model called the Hosteller a few years earlier.

I remember those 27 inch steel chromed rims, especially on rainy days.
