Bikes: 1973 Jack Taylor ToB, 1974 or '75 LeJeune Champ du Monde (possibly from the Carre Shop), 1971 Motobecane Le Champion, 1980s Rodriguez frame (future 650b conversion project)

why do you say that model? i was also thinking the '8106' on the seat lug might mean june, 1981, and the original owner was off by a year.

I'll try to look at my serial number to help corroborate year. I suggested touring elite b/c the components and seat stays were the same and b/c I hadn't heard of the competition before. It could very well be a competition. I haven't seen any images of that model. Your frame does not have brake cable guides like mine does and it might also have slightly shorter chain stays. Anyway, these two models are very similar siblings from the look of things (& without frame specs and measurements to establish the other differences between the models).
