Gitane Champion, blue tubes with yellow and black logo, Maillet group, Solida cranks. Sheldon says French steel frames make excellent fixies, and I have to admit that the idea of removing the group and replacing the cranks, BB, and brakes appeals to me; slightly.

But I already have a fixie, a dohno that I stripped bare and had powdercoated in clear, and will probably become my beater if I turn the Gitane into a fixie.

Okay purists, I still have the original parts, except for the yellow cable housing and bar tape, so don’t get mad at me for changing the bars, levers, and saddle to make it a more comfortable ride






While I might sell the bike, and parts, I don't do eBay; I'd prefer someone who really cares about classic steel. Mostly I'm curious in your idea of value. Thanx.
