That appears to be a late sixties, early seventies Gitane frame judging by the seat stays that wrap over the seat lug. In the early seventies they changed to a different style of seat stay cap. Same decals. The decals are reproduced and easily available. It could be a Tour de France or a Super Corsa frame, The only difference was how short they cut the fork steerer tube. Super Corsas always had Campagnolo dropouts, Tour de Frances could have either Simplex or Campagnolo. The forks decals appear to be later versions than the frame decals.

If I didn't already have two Gitane Tour de Frances, I would buy it. Worth every penny of the $300. Many Gitane enthusiasts prefer this earlier frame with that style seat stays. Note that the seat tube and top tube are swapped in the French build of the Reynolds 531 tube set, so it requires larger brake cable clips on the top tube and a smaller front derailleur clamp or shims. Somebody please buy this before I have a weak moment. With the horizontal dropouts, it makes a wonderful single speed or fixie.
