Gitane Frame Identification Year Was wondering if anyone can verify year of the Gitane frame

Thanks

I'm going to point out the features that make it a 70s bike.


Cottered cranks.  They went away in the late 70s.
3-leg spider in the middle of the cranks - that's old looking, but the thin cranks imply a racer.  Do get it off the ground, you're damaging the big chainring like that.


And these are the aberrations:


The cable stops on the top tube - most bikes used a full brake cable housing with clips, not an exposed inner cable. 
No lugs - at least none visible in the photo.  This looks like a smoothly welded steel frame.
Down tube derailleur seems to have a thing under it - is not overly clear in the photo.


The saddle is too new, and there appear to be no wheels, but its very close to being complete and rideable.  You need a new chain and new brake pads too.
