Gitane Helios

winter project. first proper moc-up added. cockpit isn't final and i will need to build new wheels for it. geo doesn't look too bad tho. There is about no information about this bike to be found online. It's made from Columbus Cyber which was released in 1994 and it has the exact same details as the Gitane Themis that started production in 1995. So it was probably produced between '94-95 ? Any info is very welcome. Seatube is also weird, ø29.8mm inside as it should be for Cyber, but the seattube lug has a wider diameter. No idea if it came from the factory like that or if someone took a reamer to the first 6cm of the tube, but a 7mm shim stopped the seatpost from slipping.

Hast du mal die geo aufgemessen? Bis auf das Tretlager würd ich sagen könnt's ne längere Gabel vertragen
