Motobecane Grand Jubilé

Hello all, curious what your thoughts are on value in CAD for this Motobecane Grand Jubilé in lovely condition
I know it’s one of the upper models but am having a tough time pricing it correctly
it is also a bit cleaner n polished than the photos now

Suntour Cyclone derailleur
Weinmann Vanqueur 610 brakes

I'm pretty sure this is not a Grand Jubile' but a lesser late 70's early 80's Grand Touring the Grand Jubile' art is not correct and looks to have been done by hand. Get some accitone mild nail polish remover a buck or so from the dollar store take the false lGrand Jubile' off the bike. Sell it as a Grand Touring and I would say $250 or so in a major market.

what exactly makes you think that when there are tons out there with the same markings?

That looks pretty fresh, I think CAD in about the $300 range in the big city local listings.

Did a bit of checking seems the late 70,s Grand Jubilees; and Grand touring were nearly the same and moto did do sketchy labeling.

In my neighborhood, and fully refurbished, that'd be $400 easily (or $513 cad).
