I routinely pick up beater Motobecanes solely to pick up Japanese Swiss BB, Japanese forged french sized stems, and nice Suntour RDs. Different than the other french manufacturers, I have found Swiss BB on Motobecanes spanning many years, from the mid to late 1970s to 1982.
i am going to eventually remove it as i would like a different crank axle and possibly a different bb altogether. Have u any experience with the vo threadless ones?
