Identical frame.   Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 6:51 am VintageBiker Joined: 12 May 2013 Posts: 34 Location: Amsterdam-Holland Belief it or not but I just bought a second almost identical frame. It comes from France (Ebay 69 euro's) and looks completely simular to the one I bought before (see the earlier photo's of this post). The differences: it has the black G on the head, a Shimano 600 head set and the square Reynolds 531 decal is at a different (unusual) place, down at the seat tube. Most important difference; just a few little damages, this frame looks still wonderful after 33 years!   Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 8:33 am lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 plchin014 wrote: I have a 1980 Team Pro.

I used the second frame I showed earlier at this topic. I 'collected' a complete and all original Shimano DURA ACE EX DD group. Stem and steer are Cinelli, seat is a Rolls. Rims are black MAVIC GEL 280.   Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:54 pm VintageBiker Joined: 12 May 2013 Posts: 34 Location: Amsterdam-Holland For sale! after all that work....   Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:25 am Frenchbuilt Joined: 18 Apr 2007 Posts: 443 Why?   Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:52 am VintageBiker Joined: 12 May 2013 Posts: 34 Location: Amsterdam-Holland Just kidding Frenchbuilt! It was a try to get the topic alive again.

Beautiful bicycle. When things get a bit boring, I usually throw in a subject like: derailleurs are getting $$$$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-HURET-JUBILEE-DERAILLEUR-SHIFTER-GROUP-SET-W-CLAMP-4-PIECES-/310891358849?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item486291aa81 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SIMPLEX-Silver-SUPER-LJ-derailleur-shifter-set-VINTAGE-W-BULLSEYE-PULLEYS-/281138903826?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41752f3b12   Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 2:33 pm VintageBiker Joined: 12 May 2013 Posts: 34 Location: Amsterdam-Holland Ridiculous prices of course! Ebay sometimes shows real madness!!! Something else; overhere in Amsterdam a 13 year old boy started his own business in buying, restoring and selling vintage bikes. And... HE'S DOING VERY WELL!!! He gets much publicity at the local press and even had some items on the national television. I contacted him and offered him a bike photoshoot. He came to my studio 2 weeks ago and I photographed two of his bikes (afterwords I shot my own Gitane with the same light set-up). Over the past 6 months he sold more than 70 bikes! I already have mentioned him on the British RetroBike forum. https://www.facebook.com/WillemsVintageFietsen?fref=ts http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=290109 See the movie (skip the commercial in front) http://www.hartvannederland.nl/nederland/noord-holland/2014/willem-13-eigenaar-fietswerkplaats/ What year and type frame is this?     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Vintage Gitane You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours   Page 2 of 2   Goto page Previous  1, 2 All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Gitane USA----------------Vintage GitaneGitane RacingModern GitanePro Racing - Classics/Giro/Tour....Owner Gallery   Powered by phpBB © 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed for Trushkin.net | Themes Database.
