Lovely gents Gitane bicycle from the late 70's/Early 80's. Half chrome forks and fork lugs.*
I have built it up as a randonneur with Velo Orange Porteur handlebars and Dia Compe reverse levers on a 3TTT stem.*
The chain set is the original Sugino Maxy with drilled lightweight rings. It looks fantastic - much like some of the period stronglight kit. The pedals are Weco with Christophe Special toe clips. No straps sorry.*
The wheels are mavic clinchers laced to Milland high flange hubs. They have had the bearings replaced and greased but the rear needs to be tried by 3mm.*
Simplex prestige rear mech, front and downtube band on shifters in good order. New inner and outer cables all round.*
The paintwork is consummate with age. Not mint but not bad. Lots of small scratches on rear stays and a few bigger bits here and there. The chrome is excellent.*
She's a great bike to ride. Nippy but relaxed. The removable gear hanger and lack of braze ons makes her a great candidate for single / fixed conversion. *
Happily post £30 or for collection from East London.*
Thanks again. Pm for dibs!!
