Description
Gitane – a name which means 'Gypsy Lady' in French – is a brand which was synonymous with French bicycle racing from the 1960s through the mid-1980s, sponsoring riders such as Jacques Anquetil, Lucien Van Impe, Bernard Hinault (1975–1983), Laurent Fignon, and Greg LeMond
Gitane not only produced high-end racing bikes but also reliable and stable city bicycles with a very solid reputation amongst commuters. This particular Gitane road racer is exactly such a classic road bike with a very elegant retro style. Fitted with typical French components and clicnher wheels, it is a reliable companion for your daily rides without renouncing an undeniable vintage style. And you will find the "honeycomb" rear dropouts there as well!
Completely checked in our workshop, this classic Gitane is ready not only for the urban jungle but could also be used in classic cycling events.
