The Multitrack is pretty much sentimental at this point - it's run over pretty much everything without a tune-up from glass to nails in tornado warnings and whatnot without a squeak (gears are complaining but nothing sans that). I'm baffled that it's from 1991 but these bikes indeed do last more than I would have originally expected.

Taking it out today the Motobecane feels like a fast ride despite its steel, and I'm not sure I'd want to go any faster if I'm to keep an eye around me (maybe that's all road bikes). Bit of an off topic question - sorry if this is silly, but is it safe to ride in the hoods on a vintage bike like this one? It's not really sloping upwards, and I'm not sure if the brakes are meant for that type of weight stress (couldn't really find anything in a quick search of the forums). Still trying to get comfortable on it but though I'd ask!
