Well, this just fell into my hands. It's a 1981 Motobecane Jubilee Sport. I had to replace a couple of spokes and true up the back wheel and I threw on these cheap Nashbar tires that I had in the garage but otherwise this is how I got it. I accidentally left the rear derailleur and chain in my friend's garage but he'll drop those off next week. It's unfortunate that it's too big for me. It's a 25" by Moto measurements, 62cm C-C - too big for me as I can't go more than 58.5cm tops. Anyway, it's a nice bike with (I assume as there are no stickers and no catalogs online from 1981) Vitus 888 tubing with Inexternal (internally lugged) construction, Nervar crank, Atax stem and seat post, Phillipe bars, an unidentified suede Italian saddle wearing Motobecane logos (looks a lot like those Mundialita suede saddles on eBay right now), Moto branded headset, Weinmann brakes, Rigida rims, Shimano hubs, and Suntour Blue Line derailluers and shifters.

Aside from the obvious size problem it's got an issue with the orphaned Shimano old style Uniglide cassette hub with it's 13-23 cassette. Much too high geared to for Colorado and difficult to replace though if the frame fit me I guess I would go through the trouble. I might see if my son wants it as he is a couple of inches tasller than me.
