My only flipper to date was this Motobecane, but I din't actually flip it, just harvested it for parts and tossed the frame in the dumpster because the top tube was badly rusted. I felt really guilty about tossing the frame, but it seemed dangerous. I still have the fork and snagged 600 SIS front and rear derailleurs, DA corncob 6 spd freewheel, matching araya ferruled clincher rims laced to a 600 rear and Sansin front hub, el cheapo tires, alloy stem and bars, dia-compe levers and weinmann centerpulls. I never get free **ish, so I consider it a nice haul. Sucks, 'cause it was my size, too.
