Oooh-la-la - this French bicycle is just like it appears in the Gitane catalog, accept for the "patina". Although the frame, constructed of Reynolds 531 tubing, has the expected nicks for a used, 47-year-old product, this classic model has a Nuovo Record group in great shape, as well as all brand new Campagnolo cable clips and guides to give it some bling factor! The frame honors the date of the abolition of the monarchy with the country's first presidential election.
Campagnolo Nuovo Record 6-speed group, including: CRANKSET (170mm, 52/42t), SHIFT LEVERS, DERAILLEURS(front and rear); BRAKES, LEVERS and HEADSET; HANDLEBAR- Cinelli Campione del Mondo 64-38 with NEW Benotto bar tape; STEM- Cinelli 1A stem (110mm); SEATPOST- Kalloy; SADDLE- Selle San Marco GI-Lux 311; WHEELSET- Mavic MA40 rims, Campagnolo Record hubs and NEW Michelin Dynamic Classic tires
I rebuild/restore/refurbish bicycles (vintage and modern) in my basement shop and always have a few listed on craigslist. You can check out more of my work via my Cycle Tech Royersford page on Facebook or my blog at http://cycletechrofo.blogspot.com
NOTE: Although I live just west of Philadelphia, I have sold bicycles to many customers from NYC. Flemington has been a very convenient halfway point to meet - however, if you don't have a car, I have no problem delivering. I only ask that you consider offering to chip in a few extra bucks for gas/tolls!
