I have an old Motobecane Mirage that I bought in 1975. It's gradually being restored, though I may modify it as it's not particularly valuable except to me for sentimental reasons. The frame is lugged and brazed. I have a new crank axle and I found a replacement seatpost , so now the main question is whether to repaint (powder-coat?) the frame or try to polish off the marks and restore the original finish. I'd like to change to 700c wheels if I could get brakes that would reach the rims... and convince myself they would work.
