1974 or 75 Gitane for collection only in Romford, Essex.
I think it’s a Tour de l'Avenir model. 58cm seat tube and 57cm top tube with honeycomb dropouts. 531 tubing, probably only the main 3. Scars and rust, original paint and graphics. The chrome on the forks isn’t great but would clean up a little. 120mm/122mm rear spacing. Comes with most original components including…
Mismatched tub wheels (rear is original), headset, Sugino bb (drive side cup stuck in the frame), Guid bars, stem, Mafac Racer brake set, Simplex Prestige derailleurs (front cage is rusty), shifters and cable guides (plastic is faded but no cracks), chain and a rotten bottle cage. All original cables too. Every works but needs cleaning a little.
No cranks, seat post or saddle are included. A nice patina project for the winter.
£45 for the lot
