JB- not sure if my PM's are getting thru. RE: Factory equipped 23 / 24 pounder, late 70's Motobecane Grand Sprint 700c. Entry level racer of the day and for the budget minded but were very competitive. IMHO, best geometry of the classic 70's French and of higher quality. I personally like them over the Gitane in quality.
Lugged and Vitus tubing. Very rough looking but straight and no dents. Barn find. With the exception to the saddle, 99% original incl. reflectors, bars wrap. Positively a project. Perhaps dump some of the vintage parts and go for that fixie conversion, strip and repaint. Early Shimano 600, Altus (crane engraved decor). The only worthwhile part is the crankset - machined Motobecane into the arms. Might have been made by TA Specialties or Stronglight.
