Looks like a Holdsworth Mistral from 81/82, great touring frame, mine has lamp and pannier bosses 👍

Looking at the pictures they also look like they are the short thread version which are compatible with steel cranks 👍

Mavic levers and calipers were rebranded by Modolo but these are the only ones I've ever seen showing Mavic and Modolo on my Gitane Olympic... must be worth a fortune 💰💰💰

For 2K I'd like my chainring bolts fitted the right way round... but still a beautiful machine 😍

Good looking club bike, looks like the headlight has been mounted on the brake block...neat little hack 👍

Probably built for the Dutch market as it has a lock on the fork, picture of the decals and headbadge could help date it.

Nice find, looks all original, do you know what year it is 🤔😍

Absolutely gagging for a pint I looked down at me Garmin.. was doing 81.5 mph as I overshot the pub carpark, could only get 75 out of me Fizzy 🤩 https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/raleigh-dynaflite-sbdu-753-manager-special.437747/post-3315291

Brilliant news...after a revisit to the Peugeot Bike Boom web site there's been an update and the missing 1960 catalogue is now showing. We can now confirm 1960 was the first year of the PX10 model designation and Pugsey is exactly the same specification as shown in the catalogue 👍🇫🇷...

Wow...they look amazing, I need a set for my PY10 , they would be the icing on the cake, can you please post the contact details for the supplier...many thanks 🙏

Found this old thread 👍 https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/ok-a-vintage-gitane-project.263004/

Top of the range Nation frame, exactly the same frame as the Campagnolo equipped Olympic Record just without the the extra clearance on the drive side chain and seat stays to allow for a six speed freewheel 👍...

Yeah it's a bit steep which makes the Trophée at £400 a good buy 👍

Top of the range Gitane with Campagnolo Record 😍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164971942414?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=C3yJ5BcAT6K&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hiIhcVWxQfO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Absolutely stunning top of the range Gitane with full Dura Ace, this ran alongside with the Campagnolo equipped Olympic Record..they share the same frame 😍...
