Motobecane Grand Jubile
This is my Motobecane. I bought it new in 1983(ish). It's in very nice shape. Good to excellent paint, mechanically solid. Wheels are not original but of proper vintage. Seat post moves freely. It needs brake pads. Simplex derailleurs, Nervar crank set, Mafac brakes. What kind of value are we talking here? Thanks!!

Still learning
Get some matching tires on it if you want to maximize selling price, well worth it. Since it appears to be Suntour rather than Huret Jubilee equipped, I would fathom a range of $275 +/- 10% locally. Maybe low to mid $300's on ebay.

Huge size, and that will limit the pool of available buyers. But to the right one...
How tall are you?

I don't think it is as desirable as the 70's Huret/Reynolds 531 ones. I'd say around $200 to $250 depending on market & condition of the bike.

Size really impacts value. $200 ish. If it was 56 to 58 cm in the 300's.
