Hi Chas,

Several years back we proposed to do some work with Gitane and they were not interested. This is one of the drawings out of a series that was sent.
Only drawing and not a model.

The irony of it is that later on, we were working with Gitane through Peugeot and Cycleurope and with our same designer. Through Peugeot, "we" did common frames for the various marques of Cycleurope. Today, we still have one guy at Peugeot doing various bike stuff (among other design work) and a graphist doing stickers for model year changes.

Dan

This is a bike model we did for our stand at the Paris Cycle show last summer. Change the stickers and its a Gitane

right on dan ,right on. I like it . and the frenchbuilt decal thing is great.
can I ask a question ? is it a passion ? a way of breathing creativity for you ? or is it just a job . I think I know the answer, but had to ask .
