I just happened to find two abandoned bikes today (well, I know they have been abandoned for over a month now) and combined part of one into a finished second. The first was a pristine 1984ish Motobecane Grand Touring and the second was a road bike with a fully cracked downtube and thoroughly rusted chain (and drivetrain). I swapped out the front (QR) wheel of the cracked bike into the first and voila (pun intended), it fit perfectly (probably standard 700c). I don't have photos of the frankenbike (Grand Touring) yet but I will tomorrow. Seems super light and finally to be a road bike in my size. I came across a free Shogun (way too small) and a Falcon (way too big) that I sold in the past, but this fit me just perfectly. I can just stand over the top tube but I haven't yet tried riding. I will try pumping up the front tire tomorrow and get some more pictures. It appears to be 23" with Vitus 888 tubing and Huret derailleurs.
