I'm still surprised you can find them. They shared so many parts with their competitor bikes (PX-10, Moto GR, Mercier 300) that parting one out is guaranteed to make at least $300 on them, so I'm guessing they've been steadily cannibalized over the years as low-hanging fruit.

Personally, I like the way the early 70s models ride, but the foil stickers are garish and unattractive, same goes for Merciers of the same era. Motobecane and Pegueot had a bit of a classier element to their badging IMO.
