I specifically went hunting a Motobecane because there are a couple "haters" on this site...I figured anyone having that much animosity had to be wrong... :-)

I have been on an old motobecane mirage (I believe its an early '80's bike???) all summer, it needed shifters moved from downtube to bar ends, a taller quill for my old back, a complete brake job including aerobrake levers and of course tires.

I still ride it 3-5 days a week to work and the occasional ride on the weekend, and will until the snow flies.
