My new to me Moby Jubile Sport!
Hey C&V'ers
Thought I would share my new roadie with you! I have always loved Motobecane bikes, so when I found this one on craigslist locally I offered a trade and the guy went for it
Turns out this guy is pretty into old vintage rides too, so now I have a swapping buddy in the area to boot. This particular bike is not the top of the line offering I had in my old Grand Record, but it is really beautiful and has a complete Suntour group that looks super fresh and well taken care of. The chainrings barely even show any wear! I put my vintage Mavic MA40 wheels with 600 tricolor hubs on it that I saved from my Ironman when I went with Kyseriums and they really made it look tougher and ride like butter. I also switched off the new bontrager saddle for a vetta I had laying around to make it period. This bike may be my first with a Brooks...
Can anyone date this bike for me? An official name for the color would be cool too, people ask and I have no idea.. I call it toothpaste. lol.

cool, thank you. I like your moby too!
Just took this for my first multiple mile ride and it felt really nice. it's a 59cm vs my 58cm Ironman and I think the lil extra made it more comfortable for me on a cruise. yay for nice weather!
