I am currently still riding my 1978 Gitane with its lugged steel frame. I have changed components over the years as necessary (and sometimes not necessary) as well as having a rack and fenders. I even repainted it myself once (that was an ordeal!) I decided to treat myself to a completely new bike this time and I expect to love the ride but it might not be my loaded touring bike when I have an opportunity to do that again. I see club rides and some long brevets in my future for the next few years but no loaded touring. When that time comes, I can look at a new bike, consider a trailer or just put the rack back on the Gitane (I took it off to cut the weight down to 29lbs). ha ha Post Extras
