Motobecane USA assembles bicycles consisting of Kinesis Industry Co. Ltd. or Alu-Mate Material Ind Co., Ltd. frames, both manufactured in Taiwan, and has no relationship to the long-time French bicycle industry manufacturer, Motobécane. The bicycles are sold exclusively by the Cycle Spectrum and BikesDirect.com chains, along witheBay merchants. Other bicycle brands associated with this group include Dawes USA, Windsor America, Cycles Mercier, and Bottecchia USA.

As far as I know, they're generally "okay quality" bikes. Not awful, but not stunning, either. A "get what you pay for" kind of thing. I recently bought their single-speed steel cyclocross bike, and it seems to fit that description.

I'm not sure how their higher-priced bikes fare, but probably similarly.
