Brief history.
Ginet is a small french company that was once based in Estrablin in the departement of Isere (38). A family run business started by Gerald Ginet's mother and father under the name "Manufacture viennoise de cycles" in Pont eveque. By 1979 the company had exported 40,000 bikes to the United states aswell as expanded their distribution networks nationwide. Gerald grew up in the factory, learning the trade but decided to take another direction in life, becoming a gendarme. In 1988, Gerald become the head of the family business. He re-modernised the image, moving the factory to Estrablin (south of Lyon). The company would make small series' for other bike companies. By 2013, the company gates closed for good as Gerald went into retirement.

Re:

Got this the other day, no idea of the exact date, just a guess given the parts. Real oldskool as I like em. The crank however will very likely be following the seat post with its saddle; out the window.
