For Sale: 1977-78 Motobecane Super Mirage 10 Speed

The Basics: This Super Mirage is mostly original as it sits. The wheelset is hand-built Salsa Delgado Cross rims laced to Phil hubs. A superb wheelset. NEW Brooks B17 & Crank Bros pedals are optional. The handlebar pack mount stays with me. I believe it's a 24" frame, tall-ish to be sure. I'm 6' 1" and ride the bike comfortably. Standover height is 34.5".

Price: $425.00 as pictured or make an offer w/o Brooks and Crank Bros. Wheelset goes regardless.

Beautiful bike; it almost makes me wish I was buying rather than selling.

that's incongruity at it's apex: those wheels coupled with stem shifters and "turkey levers", all on a classic Motobecane color scheme. Nice bike, but I have a feeling the new owner will make a few choice modifications.
Are those the original "fake hand-stitched-pleather" handlebar covers, or are they as real as they look? (another incongruity, if they are real leather)
