1975 Motobecane le Champion - 55cm

Sold
I need to start reducing my stable and am sadly parting with my 1975 Motobecane le Champion. I’ve had it for about 10 years and 850 miles and it looks to have very few miles before I owned it. Very minimal wear on any components and rims. A nice snappy ride with great shifting but I just don’t ride it enough to keep it from someone else who may appreciate it more. I would prefer not to ship but will do so if necessary. I’m willing to meet for a pick up within approximately a 100 mile radius of St Paul MN. Asking $800 plus shipping.
The frame is in very good shape with only a few minor paint chips in the lovely lilac color. No dents or damage. I believe the bike has spent its life indoors.
Note - the Brooks saddle does NOT go with the bike. I do have a well-worn B15 with a tear starting if you want it or can sell without.
Hopefully the link works for additional pictures. Otherwise PM me with your email and I’ll be happy to send additional photos.
