Lovely bike which I have owned for nearly 10 years and have completed multiple Eroica events on. Many period correct upgrades including rare Original Motobecane branded centre pull brakes.

Original Green Metallic paint and foil decals. There is a scratch on the top tube that was on the bike when I got it, which I have chosen not to restore as an honest reflection of this vintage bikes life. shown in the photos and lots of other areas of small wear and patina that you would expect on a bike over 50 years old.
