I almost lost my breath when I saw this..
I have a recycling station near my house, where people dump shit they don't need and that gets thrown away after a while.
Well, I browse it for bike parts sometimes 'cause a lot of old MTBs and such get thrown out, and today I found a goldmine.
Gitane frame (501 tubing) with all campy parts (almost)!
The wheels are unknown rims, with Campagnolo Record hubs, Campagnolo gearing-handles and both front and rear deraleurs, same for cranks and pedals with cristophe toeclips and strapsm but the stem and bars are chinelli.
The headset, brakes and brake levers are Campy as well.
Not sure about the seat post, haven't checked it out, and the seat is worn so no label.
There is no serial nr under the BB, so I'm not sure when it's from though.
I don't have a decent camera at the moment, so no close-ups for now.
I know Campy is good and expensive, but I'm not an expert. If I clean it up and keep it all-original, can I get some decent cash for it?
