I bought a Motobecane Team Champion today for $250 and was wondering what you guys think of it from looking at these pictures. Hes bringing me the paper work for it tomorrow so I dont have the specs on it yet. If you can tell from these pictures what you think the high priced range for this bike is I would like to hear it. Because he started out with a price of 700 and I got him down to 250. Thanks. Woot im happy.

Nice bike! I think those derailers are the best Simplex ever made and the shifters are the best friction shifters anybody ever made.

700 is the guy out of his mind, that aside for 250 you got yourself a good deal( if its your size)
I think the seller would have done better if he part out the bike.
Congrad on a great fine

Um, could you take a full 'figure' pic? The parts images are aesthetically pleasing but a bit titillating.
I think she's quite pretty: Poguemahone should be drooling along any minute, I'd guess

Too small. Must be 62cm to initiate drool reflex.
Nice bike, tho. Gawd, Simplex retro and Super LJs. I'd pop 250 for it no prob, even tho it isn't my size.
