PJ or Woody: I have an old (70s-era) but lightly used Gitane road / touring
bike, large size steel lugged frame (probably 59 or 60) that I would sell
for less than $200. It belonged to my brother, who passed away in 1976.
Does not have a lot of miles on it, was well maintained, was always stored
indoors all those years. I had maintenance and tune-up done at a LBS back
in 2007 and rode it only for a few months for short commuting to work,
until I got a racier old Bridgestone steel frame bike that was a bit more
fun to ride. I ride a 58 cm frame, but this bike fit me OK, so good for
taller folks.

It's a ten-speed with Simplex derrailleurs, stem-mounted shifters and the
old suicide brake levers with companion standard drop bar levers. Has
chrome fenders on it. Paint and decals are still nice for its age. In good
working order. Could use some better tires (the LBS put some thin, cheap
tires on that flat easily). Good for a commuter / cruising around bike.
Kind of a shame to have it just sitting gathering dust, so I'd love to see
it go to someone who could use it and appreciate it. (A bit of sentimental
attachment to that bike.)

Woody, I don't know how to contact you off-list (I'm not into racing and
not hooked into this community), but either of you can text or call me at
453-4888.
