Well, it must have been french day at the garage sales yesterday. I usually pass on french bikes due to parts incompatibility and high cost of replacements. One was a cottered crank french bike from the 1970s with steel rims, what was I thinking?? Well, it was at the real low end price wise, even for a garage sale, and came with a really nice Blackburn rack and a Cannondale bag. And its a mixte. Will clean it up and see how it turns out.

The better of the two bikes is a 1982 (guess) Motobecane Jubile Sport. Suntour BL derailleurs and shifters, nice wheels. Price was at the higher end of garage sale pricing around here.

Passed on several mountain bikes, the market just doesn't like them right now...
