Hi All, first post here Smile

Firstly, what a great site - all the old catalogues are a fantastic resource!

So, the other day I picked up a Gitane folding bike. I had a look at the afore mentioned catalogues and it looks to be the Concorde:

http://www.gitaneusa.com/images/catalog/1975/FR_1975_05.jpg

This is basically the only info I've been able to find on the web. Eventually I'd like to do some restoration work on it so I'm just keen see if anyone could tell me anything more about them since info seems pretty hard to come by?? Does anyone else have one?

Bye!

Most of the people here have the vintage lightweights/racing bicycles. However, I have always been curious about the foldables, and wanted one just to have around. Unfortunately, there isn't much information about them, so you will have to teach us!

Welcome to the site. Post some pics of your bicycle, and we may be able to give you tips on its restoration.

Thanks guys. I definitely plan to do some resto work on it, it's already in fairly reasonable knick considering it's age so I at least that'll make my work easier Smile

I think it'll be a nice little cruising bike, down to the shops and pub - for times when you don't want to get anywhere in a hurry!

Will post some actual pics once I pick it up...
