The Success and Challenger had similar overall appearance but used primarily aluminum (and some titanium in the case of the Success). The pics look like like rusting steel and it doesn't have a barrel adjuster, which is way I said Eco.
Well, that would seem to narrow it down to 1977 as it doesn't match the 1978 Grand Touring or Grand Record, and while I don't have anything on a 1978 Grand Jubile(e), it was still using the old livery in 1979, which would also seem to eliminate the 1978 version.
So the question is which model? There seems to be arguments both for and against it being a Grand Touring or Grand Record.
I looked around and it seems that the rear derailleur is an Eco yet the shifters are Luxe.
http://homepage3.nifty.com/passhunte...huret/rde1.htm It does appear it being a 1977 something??? I saw a thread on someone trying to build some sort of data base for Motobecanes and I PMed one person that posted there who has a 1977 Gran Touring. Hopefully he takes a peek at this thread and posts a pic of his 1977 Gran Touring so we can compare. Thanks again. Right now I wished that Belgians were just a bit taller as a whole or that I would of been the stereotypical height of a "normal" Mexican. Every bike I tend to get here is a 54 or smaller, and the ones that are my size usually tend to cost me more. I guess it's all the frites they eat.
