Hello,
I just bought a Gitane bike. The model seems "Paris-Nice" as indicated by one sticker on the frame.
The frame is Chromoly, it is equipped with Shimano RSX shifter and rear derailleur. The wheels are MAVIC.
Does anybody know on what year it was produced?
Is it similar to a Mach 430?




Thanks in advance,
Alain

Your bike is a European model from the early 1990s. Probably between 1992 and 1994. That's when the performance models started coming equipped with straight fork blades.

In 1995 the model names changed to "MACH xxx" numbers.

Very few Gitanes were imported to the US after ~1988 so there's not a complete collection of catalogs.
