Ridiculous saga... Paramount, Egypt and a Motobecane
I was planning on dropping my gf off at ohare wednesday and picking up the paramount i was buying in milwaukee. My gf couldnt go because of all the current turnoil. So i was going to go up earlier but the guy canceled the sale for some reason. Turns out right near there is an old motobecane grand touring in my size with the vitus 172 frameset. So i went up and picked it up for waaaay less money and figured anything i did with one i could do with the other. Plus it might be less likely stolen. Anyway, i got it home and got the crank off, the non drive side was very stubborn. Also someone had tightened the seatpost bolt into oblivion. I drilled it out and it looks like shell hold a post. Cant believe i can have fun with little stuff like this while the world spins crazy.
Frameset 1978 i think
Looks like somebody spun a bolt in there pretty good.
Straightened the slot a bit.
