Hi all. New to the forum and new to tandems... not new to Gitane!

Just saved a Gitane tandem with Reynolds 531 from eBay that needs quite a bit of work. Have searched for it all over the web but have not found much info on any Gitane tandem with 531. It's a frankenbike...and want to get it back to mostly orig. Found the general tandem info in the '74 catalogues but nothing on the 531 frame.

If you are familiar with this one, any info or advice you can give would be great.

Welcome to the forum. It is a very nice tandem you got.

The 1978 catalog shows two Reynolds tandems, a mixte (called Transalp) and a mens (called Audax). They're spec'ed with TA Specialites cranks like yours, but they have newer-style decals and a curved back seat tube. Yours must be an Audax from around 1977.
