I have either a 1977 Team Bike of Jacques Bossis, a 1956 Team Bike of Eugen Tamburlini, a 1975 Team Frame and a Gitane Profil.<br />Wish you a lot of Fun with the Bike and thanks for showing itAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504583611740313207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658717933198835076.post-27094910528447034472021-04-07T23:19:46.545+12:002021-04-07T23:19:46.545+12:00So glad you enjoyed my Dad's contribution.
