The colour is great. I'm going to do my best to keep it and focus on touching up as opposed to full repaint. I don't know what these guys at Motobecane were using to paint their bikes, but it's better than almost enything I've seen riding around town. I had to repaint my previous one (no chance for saving the paint, too much damage) and it looks good, but original Motobecane paint is in a league of its own.
I have a 1979 C5 (European equivalent of TC) frame, which came to me in a pretty bad shape and still requires sending off to a frame builder for some repairs. Huret dropouts the same style, minus eyelets, chromed fork crown (the whole fork is actually chromed underneath the paint, which I suspect is the case with the blue one as well). It has both derailleur cable guides on the BB shell and the same lugs. Differences, other than eyelets: different seat stay caps, different style seat stay bridge. And, as mentioned, no eyelets.
My previous Grand Sprint had no eyelets either (and no BB cable guides, which I actually prefer), I was using chromed and rubberised P clamps. Hence mudguard on the blue still looks wonky, I transplanted all the components from the previous frame (which will be built up with nearly all French / Swiss components except for the seat post) and didn't have the time to adjust the mudguards properly yet. P clamps are a decent enough solution, but I definitely prefer to just use the eyelets.
