Looking for a Motobecane Grand Touring
Just posted this in the Road Bike forum too but was thinking I would hopefully get some bites here as well...
I moved to Philly about 2 years ago and brought with me an older model Motobecane Grand Touring (about a '71 i think?), champagne in color with black stripes, all original parts and in great condition. About 2 months ago it was stolen from me outside of work, not sure if the chain was cut or if in haste I didn't lock it up right. Point being I miss her very much and would love to have another. She fit me perfectly and I have since bought a vintage Marukin that I absolutely hate. If anyone has one for sale, knows of one for sale, or sees something of the sort please let me know.
Cheers

I have one with about a 33" standover. I can measure the ST and TT if you are interested and get a couple pics too. Really decent for its age but too big for me.
