Well, here is what we think will be introduced for 2013. The new Gitane Definitive "The One" will include an internal storage space for your electronic shifters. This one honestly appears to be a prototype or pre-production model of some sort, judging by the finish.

Yo Stephan,
Many thanks for this information and photos. Yes, this looks like a pre-production model. But, we sure have some differentiations, such as the thinner top tube, straighter (even appearing to be reverse angle ) forks, etc. Pretty radical. However, I got light headed (no battery powered bikes for yours truly) until I read further that one model would have a conventional (Ultegra) group. It would sure be nice to set one up with Campag. as a tribute to the great championship winning Gitanes of Anquetil, Hinault, etc. Perhaps I can check with Jean Pierre on this.

REALLY disappointed with the graphics. They have now completely phased out the 'Gitane' name on the Definitive line. I am writing to Gitane, and you should too, to complain.

Many thanks for this details and images. Yes, this looks like a pre-production design. But, we sure have some differentiations, such as the slimmer top pipe, straighter (even showing to be opposite RS 3 Gold position ) forks, etc. Fairly extreme. However, I got mild advancing (no battery power Cheap Fifa 13 Coins operated motorbikes for yours truly) until I study further that one design would have a traditional (Ultegra) team. It would sure be awesome to set one up with Campag. as a honor to the excellent RS 3 Gold tournament successful Gitanes of Anquetil, Hinault, etc. Perhaps I can examine with Jean Pierre on this.

I am still bitter about Cycleurope's abandonment of the Gitane name in the high-end market. My 2012 might be the last new Gitane I ever own, and as for seeing them in the pro-peleton again, I have my doubts. Certainly not with the bike pictured here. The "hisgtory" page is notably devoid of any history. How could the marketing geniuses do this to the brand??? http://www.definitive.fr/la-marque-definitive.html
