Picked up Motobecane Grand Jubilé, I think it is all original. It came with Reynolds 531 DB tubing, Nervex Lugs, Weinmann Brakes, Weinmann Rims 27", Normandy Hubs, Stronglight Cranks 49, Stronglight HS, Huret Jubilé Derailleurs and the paint and patina(very little oxidation) is excellent!
Can't tell what year the Motobecane Grand Jubilé is, the serial number I think is 28129 it's on the right rear dropout.
I'm thinking of parting out the bike or just the frame, any idea's.
I found the Motobecane Grand Jubilé on CL, drove out and the owner changed his mind on the value, prompt by his wife, windup paying $200 instead of $150 for the bike, but I think it's worth the bump.
Just wonder if I paid too much for the Motobecane? Or, by selling the frame would equalize my investment. I want to keep the componets, their all French, the frame is too large for me.
Thank you for any input, Mike (gioscinelli)
