It's a real Frankenstein, for sure. It looks like it's had its share of lives.

The bars are off an early-mid 80s (ish) Motobecane with the molded Hutchinson faux-leather wraps, it's a hood and bar wrap in one. Looks like someone didn't know how to take them off, so stripped off one side? Odd, but ... "Okay!?"

Unfortunate dings about, most noticeable for me is in the head tube.

Maybe it's just me, but the front fork looks like it has forward rake. I was looking at the head tube intersections for signs of accident or damage but my feeble eyes don't see anything. Possibly just the angle of the photo.

That seat bolt binder makes me cringe every time. Looks like several things on this bike were products of necessity geared to what was easily within reach.

Very cool! What's your plan?
