Why oh why can’t this be a 56cm!

Love how fork tips are Campagnolo and rear drops Simplex. Use whatcha got!

Looks like it will clean up very nicely. Glws

That's my size as well. I have no idea why but I've had a heck of a time finding a 57 cm Gitane TdF as well; ditto for Raleigh bikes. Either folks were taller back in the day or everyone just rode French fit and called it a day.

Do you know if this frame fits a 700c x 32mm tire in the rear? Alternatively, what's the internal measurement across the chainstays where there is tire rub right behind the bottom bracket?

Thanks for checking!
I figured that would be tight for 32s at the bottom bracket but wasn't sure. There is often some variability in these older frames.

It's a good deal for the right person.

I wish @hazetguy needed the 56; I'm tinkering with one right now and could use this size instead! Can't say it's anywhere as nice as this one though.

GLWTS - that's a killer deal.

I have a Gitane TDF similar to this one and have used 32 Paselas on it. Great riding frames. One of the best values out there.

Thanks for chiming in. ColonelJLloyd had one (https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...e-tdf-1x5.html) I think he could only get 30s on his, so there seems to be some variability.
