Hey From The Sun Coast of Florida
Hey All,
A heartfelt hello and wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable ride. I just finished restoring a 1984 Motobecane Mirage Sport after 6 weeks of pure, enjoyable torture. The first 7 mile (11km) ride made it all worthwhile.
Pure Torture, Pure Joy
In period Motobecane - La Redoute Jersey

Nice job of bringing it back to life. Very clean looking.
And nice kit, too.
Team issue sandals?
The fork blades: silver paint? I ask because i've read about a bright 'chrome paint'. Which I would like to try.
