Hi all,
I am trying to "restore" my 36 year old Motobecone Le Campion with original parts. I thought I might get some help form this form. Wish me luck!

Welcome to Bike Forums!!
As East Hill said, you might want to stop by the Classic and Vintage section. The folks there not only know their stuff pretty darn good they are sure nice too!

Thanks for the complement. The pic is what it looked like after sitting for 34 years in various garages. I've done some work on it this week end.
New tires
Replaced Suntour brakes and levers with original Universal 61 Center Pulls
New HB tape
Lubed (clean and new lube)
Headset

Brakes

Waiting for a dry day. Hubs have to be done yet and the cable housing needs replacement. Just riding it aroudn the street, very responsive, quiet. I am excited about finishing it up and seeing how badly out of shape I am in!
