Hello

First, sorry for my poor English (luckily for me, I read it better than I'm writing it )
I'm french from France (Orleans)


I have read extensively this forum and have learned many many things. I want to introduce you to my last bike.
With your knowledge , I was able to identify quite precisely : it is a 85 ‘ Profesionnel (Reynolds 531 Professional + Campagnolo Victory)
The stickers seem unusual and the seatpost not genuine
With this presentation, I want to know more about this bike, but also to participate to the knowledge of the production Gitane, and of this model precisely
If you want, I can post more pics
unfortunately it's too small for me and even after its restoration, I could not appreciate its qualities.
My wife would use it for meetings after its restoration

I have also a Gitane Nation 1978 wich need restoration too

THOSE ARE THE DECALS I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR!!!!

Is there any way you can take close-up pictures of those decals, and measurements? I may be able to have them made so that all of us can enjoy them!

I was referring to the decals in the picture that started this post. Bir Hakeim: can you get me photos of those decals?

Stephan- this would be awesome! I need to get mine back to the blue. I've thought of selling the bike but then I ride it again and it's sooooo nice...
