Eric from Wisconsin just sent me the scans of a 1968 Gitane catalogue.
Of interest therein:

1) Check out the track bike stem. Fully adjustable and really cool.
2) Take a look at the worst idea of all time: The kids tandem!
3) Gitane apparently made scooters. Anyone who comes up with one of these gets a special prize. Nicolas: You should be able to find on of these in France, yes???

We are still looking for catalogues, so if you come across one, let me know, and we will add the scans to the site.

I have one more, which is a mid-1970's, but I haven't scanned it yet...it is a "poster" catalogue, which makes it more difficult to format for the website. It will also be scanned and posted soon.

Have a look at this ebay store, they have some scooter catalogues if anyone's interested.

http://stores.ebay.com.au/EUSKAL-MOTORCYCLES

Also, ebay france has one of those Bernard Hinault plastic models like nicolas has shown us.

I hope you're not selling out nicolas.

(CHECK OUT THE SUPER CORSA - NOW I'VE JUST GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!)

Hey, just type in gitane in the search bar for ebay in ALL CATEGORIES. There's some weird stuff out there! Has anyone heard Gitane Demone? What sort of music is it? (yes, I know it's not related to our bikes!)

"Gitane Demone" is goth rock. I am a Bauhaus fan...and think that Gitane Demone is crap. I also like Skinny Puppy...Einsturzende Neubauten, and some other industrial rock...and think that Gitane Demone is crap....

Regarding Gitane mopeds and motorcycles, check out these sites:

http://www.mopedarmy.com/photos/brand/89/

http://monsite.wanadoo.fr/dom95/page4.html

http://digilander.libero.it/testimotor/gitane_testi.htm

The last one is particularly good...specially the "Gitane Elf" models. Remember: Gitane was purchased by the Renault Group, which also owned the oil company Elf (hence, the Renault/Elf/Gitane bicycle team).

Well, goth rock isn't my thing anyway.
But a Super Corsa motorbike might be. Does anyone else think that's the coolest bit of retro junk they've seen in a while?
