The frame is Gitane Tour de France with hangerless Simplex Juy forged dropouts, with headset stem, bars, and brake levers. There is a Stronglight bb it's toast. The Gitane was $34.00
I would NEVER be able to resist a green TdF in my size like that! And while I’m used to the Simplex hanger on mine, your dropouts would be better suited for my use - my TdF is my favorite beater fixed-gear, and a 60 cm to top Mel Pinto/foil decal era TdF is pure magic on the road!
