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

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.
