gsivol,
Does the frame still have the original paint or is it a repaint? If it's a repaint what colour-code was used?

Hello Vintagebiker !

It's a repaint. I sent the frame to the gitane old factory of Machecoul. They compared their color with that of the frame situated under the ancient sticker (the colour was not the same). I have no reference to be communicated with you
