FRENCH EXS (GITANE)

i gathered the parts for this bike from all over the world. like hubs, stem and seatpost are from san francisco, rims actually from australia and the frame and crankset from france. i traveled those places, not only for the bike but it was kind of an idea to get those parts in the countries where they're produced. had a good year travelling, now i enjoy the final product, as you can see. it climbs like a mountaingoat and that is basically what i use it for - to climb and bomb...sincerely driftwood VIENNA

i bought it directly from the factory in a raw unpainted condition - no decals - no branding just the pure aluminum - to protect the frame from erosion i powdercoated it...
