convert the motobecane. french bikes are the jam, obnoxious threading and all. feel free to message me with any questions that you may have about dealing with french sizing/threading. i can help.
applecart's bikes don't even come with real track wheels. he does suicide hub setups, which are not worth paying for.
again, convert the motobecane. you'll have a bike that you built and you'll get over the feeling of intimidation.
