Check out the new catalogue, a French 1975 one, posted to the site. It was difficult from a scanning perspective, as it is a poster, and it is layed out at a 45 degree angle, making it a pain in the neck to scan and post. Luckily, my webguru...BNT MEDIA...helped out with the large full poster scan, which is a composite of all of the scans put together. Thanks Biorn!

The bikes are nice...but.....

Interestingly, look at the choice of pictures the management at Gitane used for the catalogue. What is with "Grizzly Adams" on the racing bike? Are his legs even shaved???

Even better, what is with the umbrella picture??? The lady is wearing a scarf, leather jacket, and great 1970's make-up.... Then you have the man, who is leering letcherously at her, with his shirt off...holding an umbrella...gold chain (backwards!) and all. WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THAT PICTURE...AND WHY DID ANYONE AT "CORPORATE" THINK THAT WAS GOING TO SELL A BICYCLE???

Glad I wasn't middle-aged in 1970's France....
