Barnfind Gitane " Super Corsa " ?

[Eric Amlie]

Agree with juvela that it's a TdF.
I have two of them very similar to this bike with the Simplex fork ends & dropouts. One I outfitted with a Campag. mechs. like this bike, the other now wears Suntour Cyclone mechs. Both of them originally had Mafac Competition brakes(now changed). The head set would be another indicator. Stronglight for TdF, Campag. for Super Corsa.
I was hoping for a good pic of a stock fork as the decal is also most times a good way to tell the model. Attached are photos of the fork decals on the TdF and the Super Corsa.

Meant to post this resource earlier.

Archive of year-by-year manufacturer catalogues.

The 1972 model year is skipped so you can check the 1971 and 1973 years.
