New project which will be on the backburner until I accumulate the right parts. Found a nice Gitane track frame in France for a good price, not sure whether it's a super pista or mexico pista (the latter has only the 3 main tubes made out of Reynolds 531 tubes, the super pista is 531 throughout). Features nice Bocama lugs with cutouts. My plan, if there is one, is to build this up as a period incorrect (mild) hhsb. Was thinking/hoping DA high flange hubs laced to black box section rims (possibly mavic to match the decals) & hopefully I can find some affordable DA cranks to match. I probably won't be starting to build this until the next year though. Would be interested to hear your ideas and opinions for a build. Seller's pics, disregard the fugly wheels, it's just to show the geometry.
