can you identify this Motobecane?
I would like to find out the model and age of this Motobecane if anybody can help. It has 'proffessional' wirtten on the top tube near the head tube and 'ventoux' on the seat tube. The tubing and forks are Reynolds 653. Groupset and breaks all Suntour edge with index shifters. Mavic wheels with Campagnolo hubs, also Mavic stickers on the forks (an addition by a previous owner?). Ideas?

Don't know about the model - likely Ventoux?, but you can check the SunTour component ages by looking it up on www.vintage-trek.com I'd guess early 90's, but could easily be wrong.

I did think it was early ninties, and checking the codes on the components matches this(thanks for the link). I didn't know Ventoux was a model of Motobecane, I can't seem to find any info on it.
