LE GITANE - £100 COMPLETE - 56cm - Rad Beater

** Gitane Rat/Beater for sale for cheaps, for life ** - RVL 2013

This BSO has been sitting unused in my flat unloved and deserves an owner

It has some serious forum pedigree V
@Rik_Van_Looy built it originally -

The full spec is in his thread, its an engineering marvel, the only difference now is a BMX stem and risers.

I think he got it from @Dry
Then me, @IR and @Seven04 bought it for @lucyh
Who then left it for the shamelessly for her Tokyo Fixed

THE PROS
-Is rad as fuck.
-Bolt on Cog, very on trend.
-ONLY £100
-Home Made Ghetto Spec Double Straps, just look at them.
-Ratty Turbo, also very on trend

THE CONS
-Rear tyre very nearly skidded through
-Seatpost clamp slips under A LOT of pressure. I've done about 40 miles on it recently and it didn't slip once.

Viewing in Peckham/Burgess Park/Camberwell Green - I'm free all day tomorrow.
£100!

Bargin!!! GLWTS

That looks fun n rad! And what a bargain. Dibs on that. Just need to hear back from my friend.

Sorry, undibs. Friend was looking for something a little smaller. Glwts!

Shipping ?

And is that a broken spoke on front wheel which overlaps fork?

Not shipping sorry.

And its not a broken spoke, that would have definitely been put in the 'Cons' list if so.
Just a trick of the light with the spoke showing over in inside of the left fork arm due to the bars being turned slightly...If you get what I mean.

Yes of course, such a nice ride but can't pick up :(((

almost tempted to buy this back, but I have no room. I'm sure this won't hang about.

Whilst we're posting nostalgic photos, here's one of mine

Splendid biek at good price - Good luck whoever ends up with it!

(Glad the ghetto-doublers & gauche green clips are still going strong but what happened to the Iride Modena sticker on the seattube)

Greatest Clips Ever
Talk to @lucyh about the sticker.

Wishful next dibs. 4th?

Indeed, fine clips - also forum-sourced (bartered for thrashed Ultegra BB )
(As for the sticker, Matteo is my bro's mate so I represent where possible!)

Sold to @swampie
Vive Le Gitane
