MOTOBECANE Modele Diffusion?
I know I can ge this guy to go way lower on price, but I am not sure that is the correct model of this bike. Does anyone know which motobecan model/year this is and if it would be worth flipping and at what price?

Apparently it didn't last long whatever it was.

If you didn't get it - I'll leave you with C&V admonition #43:
"When you see a bike, deal 1st, and ask questions later."

What are you talking about? The bike is still posted and the link works.

Hi Best Sport - - That's a funny looking CL posting! (Below)
It is very hard to tell anything with a low res non-drive image like that.
The DT shifters, toe clips, and apparent lack of ST bands suggest it might be something as nice as a late 70's Vitus-tubed Gran Record. The fenders would not normally have come on such a model in the USA though - so it may indeed be some European "Modele Diffusion" that made its way here somehow.
Anyway, it is worth a look.
Flippable? Perhaps. If it is indeed a nicer bike and you can get him to come down, then yes. (The fenders and rack alone are worth something).
