Hi!
Do you know what is it?
Sorry for my horrible english
Thank you

Para quien pueda leer en español. No conozco sobre el tema de marcas,
Modelos, etc. Hoy vi esta bicicleta y me enamoró. Busqué en la red y no conseguí información que me mostrara qué modelo y año es. Me llamó la atención que no encontré ninguna foto de ningún año que fuera amarilla

Agradecería toda la información que pudieran darme
Muchas gracias de antemano
Saludos a todos

It's a 1974 or 75 Gran Sport...

Judging from the rust, it looks like it's been swimming!

Tubo de gas o de agua... conduite de gaz ou de l'eau... tuyau de gaz Laughing

Those bikes were made of seamed carbon steel tubing. They weighed about 12.25 kilos (27 pounds).

Bikes made with aluminum alloy components and alloy steel tubing weighed 9.5 to 11 kilos (21 to 25 pounds).

I wouldn't recommend spending too much money of restoring that bike. I'd just fix it up enough to make it safely rideable.

Good luck! Wink
