Oh c'mon... Show me your Motobecane!
 
I don't care if it's a Team Champion or Nomade. They're all eye candy to me! :)

Nice bikes Bill.... I have to wonder why Swiss threading didn't prevail... Standard metric threads + sensible left hand threading on the fixed cup. Kind'a made sense.

When the weather warms up, come on over again!

Never enough Moto's Jim... BTW - are you holding that bike up or holding it down? Moto's tend to ride like a dream and weigh like a feather.

You can rely on it. You have snagged a whole lotta cool rides since I last visited, and I need to inspect them ALL!!!!

Here's my Grand Touring - I like this bike a whole lot.

The bars were bent beyond reckoning, so I put these Peugeot bars with lions on it!

Hmmmm. Let me try again. It's a 1974-1975 grand Jubile that's been through some changes. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=370457

My 1977 (I think) Mirage in it's current form.

I'm still not entirely sure about it at the moment. When I converted from 27" to 700c, an old set of MAFAC Racers were all that I had that had sufficient reach. Still fiddling with those bastards, and I haven't quite gotten them to a point where I'm comfortable with them.

Mines on the way. Still have to lace up the wheels. I considered doing a repaint on the frame but it's only a Nomade and I'm staying all original. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=370478

It doesn't look like it needs paint to me - In fact it looks like it will be a beauty.
(Plus it's unhealthy to spray-paint bikes on the kitchen table :innocent:)

My Mirage, when I was trying it out as a single speed. I've since replaced the wheels and added SKS Chromoplastic fenders which nearly match the original Motobecane silver paint.

I have 2 Moto's, both restored.
Early 70's Le Champion, rescued from oblivion a couple years ago. Shown here as a racer, it's now set up as a sport tourer.

'75 Grand Jubile, which I bought new. It's been extensively modified several times.
