Is there a spot where I can get the geometry to my 1985 Performance? I have a size 50.

Thanks.

I am a bit confused...if you have the bike, why do you need geometry measurements? Anyhow, as for the angles, look at the 1985 catalogue in on our www.gitaneusa.com website. Here is a shortcut:

sorry for the confusion. yes, the angles.

are the catalog numbers which are for a 54, I think, the same for a 50?

I guess I could get a protractor and measure angles too.

thanks.

Didn't mean to come across as a smartass...wasn't my intention. Just confused, is all.

It is my understanding that the angles would be the same, because they would use the same lugs.

No offense taken really.

I have been riding the bike a lot lately and comparing it to a much newer OX Platnium steel bike I have. The newer bike weighs a bit less, but the Gitane handles so much better. Just trying to figure out the differences to better understand what is what.

Thanks for your help.
