I think the model G would make a nice single speed, but I'm a little worried about the low BB.
The F was my baby. It was the frame that I always wanted. It's what I ride. I think it's perfect, right down the the 135mm spacing. I understand 120, but wider flanges make stronger wheels and a 52mm chain line is a no-brainer. And I think 1 1/8" threadless is way more durable.
But lots of people wanted low BBs and relaxed goemetry and and 120 and 1" steering. So we gave them what they asked for.
I wonder if the Motobecane people sweat this stuff? I'd sure like to hear from them.
