Thanks guys/gals. You have been most helpful.
What attracted me to this bike was
1. My fascination with motobecane because of BD.
2. The paint seems so fresh.
Now the seller states this: "The frame is hand painted". Is this just marketing talk, or does he mean he repainted it?

There is a guy who has TWO Super Mirages (no pics) who wants $600 for the pair or $350 apiece on Chicago CL now too! Craziness.
Thanks for the heads up. Chicago's CL indeed has some crazy stuff. My fav one is a posting for a Miyata one-ten asking for 480$
firm. Believe it is still up.
