I'm still riding a 1972 Motobecane Grand Record I bought on Easter Sunday that year. Just about everything BUT the frame's been replaced since then, with an emphasis on a NoS pair of MAVIC rims I laced myself onto a pair of eBay'd Campy LF hubs identical to the pair it came with. New VO BB, Stronglight 3-ring 93, VGT-Lux DR in back and a sweet 14-34 FW PastorBobinNH had to sell me, all for the hills around where I live now.

I bought a new Specialized alloy Diverge late last year (fall sales you know) that has a 10-speed CUES groupset fitted. 'Cause many 'interesting' roads around where I am now aren't paved and I don't want to break my MB after so many years!
