Taiwan-Made Motobecane Nomade II Mixte ID?
Recently acquired this low-end mixte which will probably be built up into a commuter. The frame is rather large (~55cm), which makes it a great find imo. Judging by the components, it appears to be a 79-81. Notice the stamped two-piece fused together brake-bridge. No tubing stickers, so I'm guessing its hi-ten. Standard period Suntour/SR components with Motobecane branded cranks and brakes.

Serial reads: M104 12477

Anyone have better ideas on the year? Or, when did Motobecane start outsourcing to Taiwan? Thanks!
