A few years ago, I picked up a late 60's Motobecane mixte. If the stickers on the chainguard and the rear fender are any indication, it came from the Chretien (French for Christian) bike shop in Angers, France. Interesting that it made its way to the US Midwest!
Huret 3-speed drivetrain, 650b wheels. Came to me with whitewall tires fused to the rims - apparently the bike had been left in the back of a pickup truck all summer. Took awhile to separate that mess and put on a pair of new tires. Love the facing wings in the crank.
