Les Gitane de mon père 1920-1980 - Moto, vélo, cyclo (2e édition)
The Gitane Testi Champion Super, born in Italy, captivated the French youth of the 1970s with its sleek design and authentic motorcycle engineering. However, the Gitane brand has a long history. Founded in 1928 by Marcel Brunelière, it initially gained recognition for high-quality bicycles. In the 1950s, Gitane expanded its production to include mopeds and motorcycles.
Gitane also achieved notable sports success. Cyclists like Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, and Laurent Fignon won the Tour de France ten times on Gitane bicycles. The brand also set speed records of over 200 km/h.
This book provides a comprehensive presentation of the motorized models, an overview of bicycle production, and a tribute to the main sporting achievements with Gitane bicycles. Richly illustrated, the book focuses on Gitane bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles produced between 1928 and 1980. This volume of the "De mon père" collection is a valuable resource for owners and enthusiasts.
