Hi - I'm wondering how many Gitane owners are still riding on tubular tires? Many, if not most, of the TDF's and Super Corsas sold in the US seemed to come set up with tubulars. I've always swapped a ...

Jay - it was really nice to meet you today and spend some time talking about Gitanes. Your bike looks even better in person than it does in the photos! Nice job... John

Chas - I agree! These are great riders, but I also think they are fantastic to look at. They bring me back to the day when handmade things actually looked handmade. I actually don't mind the slight ...
