Early 70's one owner Motobecane in great shape. Huret, Stronglight, red Vetta saddle. Lugged frame. This is a nice vintage bike. 23" seatpost. Asking $290. email for more details.

I emailed him, asking what model it was, fully assuming it was a super overpriced Mirage or Super Mirage. But if, by chance, it was a fully Campy 'Le Champion' - I would have at least gone out to check it out.

Turns out it's a Grand Jubilee. Nice bike, but $290? Come on.
