How about this gorgeous blue 1970s Motobecane Mirage?
Just acquired this one, haven't even had a chance to begin cleaning it up. It seems to be mostly original and in nice condition. I really like the color, hard to describe the shade of blue. Weighs quite a bit with all the heavy-duty components and associated hardware. I suppose the 1020 tubing isn't the lightest, but the gorgeous color cancels out just about any negatives. cheers

I described mine as electric blue. Looks like the paint is much better on yours

That blue is a seductive color!
Please replace the front brake cable before someone gets hurt, though.
