• if you go to www.gitaneusa.com/catalogues.asp look at the catalogues they go back to the 60s so you can find your frame and see where it stood in their line up. i think most years they had two pistas, a super pista made fully out of 531 with chromed dropouts and a pista mexico which just had the three main tubes in 531 and normal droupouts.

    cheers for the link (and cheers for the edit, provenrad)

    where did you find these awesome reviews? i have never read a review of a gitane pista. i got a super pista frame recently and now have the trouble of building it up as it has french threads, ive heard they can be a bit more trouble than they're worth.

    not much doing on this forum, but theres a few lying around on the other cycling forums - [ame="http://www.cyclingforums.com/showthread.php?t=10808"]this [/ame]is the thread about quality differences - 3rd post down
    and heres one complaining about the foreign threading - read the **notes
    **as to high quality riding, just look around at the Gitane tracks on velospace and you'll find plenty of praise for 'em
