Crankset on a Gitane? Any idea
I checked through velobase and did not see anything. It will be offered up to someone at some point but wondering what it is.
it’s in storage at the moment but I didn’t remember seeing a label. I though it might be a Nervar or Solida or something.

frame no earlier than 1974
chainset looks like it may be a SOLIDA
boottom bracket assembly appears it may be a BARDON product such as REWAX MD

juvela when Schwinn could no longer source (or the price point was too high) the TA crankset for the Sports Tourer, they switched to a Nevar crankset. They kept that chainguard in place between the 54T and 40T chainrings.
I modified my Nevar and made it a triple by drilling mounting holes for a granny gear. But as you can see, kept the chainguard.
(Note: This photo shows where the granny was placed prior to drilling the mounting holes. See pictures below for finished modification.)

This is definitely NOT a lightweight. The Gitane will likely get an alloy crank of some sort despite the pedigree.

I don't see the mounting holes. How is the innermost ring held?

Opps! I posted the wrong picture. I guess I was in a hurry last evening and didn't look close enough. The mounting holes were drilled into the large ring.
