Big Chief's lovely 1976 GT is the perfect setup for this bike, which is currently my entry in the C&V Clunker 100 Challenge. Once I have my 100 km in, I will spend a few bucks on brake lever hoods and better tires and have a lovely laid-back riding bike! This is a largely stock 1975 Motobecane Grand Touring (the Nitto Technomic stem replaces the stock short extension SR, and I replaced the stock Dia-Compe q/r levers w/ extensions with a set of Weinmann q/r levers).
