Here is my Motobecane Le Champion SL. I have a bit over 300 miles on it and love it more than I thought I would!

I need to shorten up the cables and get the pedals changed. No cages for me during build testing.

I rode the hell out of this bike without much fuss, couldn't take the name tag so I stepped it up a bit.
As for the background....
I build fast things on the side ('96 T-Bird from hell).

I thought bike people were supposed to like the environment, not try to kill it as fast as possible. Huh.

That car puts out well over 6 hundy at the wheels and is scary to drive so other then the track or a Sunday jaunt she stays put. As for me I just like getting paid to build cool stuff and I'm very found of the environment and do my share of loving it.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

I was just joking guys. I owned a Jeep when I was in the states, and enjoyed 4-wheeling, guns and Budweisers just like any other God Blessed red blooded American. If you don't believe me, well that's your right, because this is a democracy and I don't cry, and when I do it's red white and blue baby (Whilst he plays God's music in the background cleaning his guns).
