Damen Rennrad Motobecane Touring | eBay
I've been looking for some information on this bicycle, however most of them refer to Grand Touring, not Touring. Does anybody know anything about this bike? Like tubes/ride quality, rear stays spacing (I'm guessing 126mm but possibly 120mm?). Is BB shell BSA or could it be some old school French standard? How long would horizontal tube be? It's for 165cm girl so I think 50cm seat tube is fine.
I'm planning to rebuild it slightly with new wheels and 7 speed derailleur. I just wonder how easy would that be.
Cheers!
I see that the bidding has ended, did you win?
