I finished the majority of the work on the '74 Motobecane Grand Touring this morning. I ended up having to disassemble, de-gunk, lube, and reassemble the rear derailleur because while it shifted fine across the cogs, it wouldn't maintain proper chain tension when on the smaller chain ring up front. Fixed that problem. In addition to the other consumables (tires, tubes, brake pads, bar tape, hoods, rim-strips, toe straps, etc.), I had to replace the saddle. I thought I could save the suede saddle, but the thin padding under the suede disintegrated on a few adjustment rides. It turned out pretty nice for my first attempt to resurrect a bike and will provide a nice option to my Fuji Absolute hybrid on occasion.
