Looks like a  '82Puch  GTI Turbo and a '83 Gitanes Seven? Were these real low end stuff - doesn't seem to be a huge amount of info on them so i'm guessing quite rare, but not especially desirable. Is the Gitane on 24" wheels or is that just the photo?

Cheers, thought that may be the case, shame as the Puch is quite a nice looking frame, reminds me a bit of a mongoose  :D

It was the Gitane's that caught my eye as at first glance i thought they were 24" skyways, but never seen or heard of a 24" Gitane.
