New Build: 1972 Motobecane Le Champion
Well, you can never have too many Motos, right?

Here goes....



Frame with original paint....

Cool bike shop sticker will remain...

Script logo still in 1972, classic crazed paint....


Universal 61s, need new pads, this is after cleaning. The best part is the gum hoods, nice and supple, much better than the repros I found....

Original 3TTT Record stem and Grand Prix bars...

Cool original sticker....

The best part - the original Campy Nuovo Tipo hubs, specially made just for this generation Le Champion. Basic Tipo hubs, but with kidney shaped cutouts rather than circular....

Straight seatpost (original) with Brooks clamp...
