It appears to be a 1970 Grand Tour. I have an old mountain bike and this was my return to 10 speeds since Schwinn Varsity days in 1976. The wheels are from a thrown away Fuji 12 speed but I have the French steel wheels. I had problems getting the crank pins in right, but I found a bike shop, Jerry's Bike Shop in Topeka, Kansas that was able to do them right. I will be putting some new tires and trying to do a little regular road riding exercise for a New Year's resolution. a   Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:58 pm haneeya Joined: 20 Mar 2015 Posts: 1 Picked this one up from a Craigslist add. Spent a far percentage of its life stored in a barn. Cost me $100 for bike. Needed to replace broken frt derailleur. Beyond that I think everything but the tires are original. _________________ http://test-king.com/ http://www.ju.edu/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwestern_University   Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2015 8:10 am sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California good stuff _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com 1970 Grand Sport..?     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Owner Gallery 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 1 of 1   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.
