Nice Team Pro   Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 10:00 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area Nice bike! What components do you have on it? I need to get started on my 84 Team Pro. I have all of the parts ready to go. BTW, Greg at Cyclomondo on eBay has French Columbus tubing decals for your bike. He doesn't advertise them, you have to request them. gtsoftley@ozemail.com.au _________________ Chas.

The cable routing points to a late 1980's Team pro, but the fork is Columbus(?). I am interested in opinions here, because the frame is definitely not a 1984. Could it be one of those odd-ball Euro 1985/6's? _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:20 am sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California What year is that bike?

Right now it has michelin tires, Mavic rims, campy- hubs,headset,seat post,cranks chainrings. soma track pedals & Shimano 105 index derailleurs. Its a mix-match-Fignon-replica-odd-ball, that goes great with my other classic- Ciocc -JD   Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 12:36 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California Well...there have been some Columbus Gitane bikes sold in the mid-1980's, I think. Some of the people on this site have them. Sorry if this is repetitive, but do you know what the main tubes are made of? Columbus or Reynolds? Also, what are the dropouts? Simplex or Campagnolo? _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:36 pm bultaco34 Joined: 15 Oct 2008 Posts: 21 Frame is reynolds, forks are columbus......its a mut !! -JD   Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:38 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California You mean "hybrid". _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:10 pm bultaco34 Joined: 15 Oct 2008 Posts: 21 Yes , of course... a hybrid javascript:emoticon('') also, i forgot it has campy dropouts. -JD   Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:15 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California fork has simplex, right? _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 4:34 pm plchin014 Joined: 03 Mar 2010 Posts: 17 Location: Massachusetts, USA Interesting frame. Has under the top-tube cable routing. Yet has the frame number tab also. I thought the newer frames (with campy dropouts, Reynolds 531 tubing) had discontinued the frame number tabs (since European Pro racing went to soft frame number (stickers) instead. This is a really difficult frame to figure out the exact vintage. I vote that this is a "Hyrbrid" of sorts. Did it come with this fork?   Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 5:04 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California Gitane liked the number tabs: they included them on high-end bikes through the early 1990's.
