My Motobecane
I'm still trying to decide what to do with it. I'm thinking about building up a nice set of wheels out of either 105 or Ultegra hubs with some Sun rims I found on harris cyclery's website. I'm also kicking around the idea of getting some of those brake levers with built in shifters. The spacing in the rear is 130mm, will a 9 or 10 speed cassette fit on the ultegra or the 105 hub? Lemme know what you guys think of the bike. Oh, modifications include a 105 derailleur, shimano bar end shifters, coda bar and stem, egg beater pedals and some different brake pads. Other than that I rebuild and replaced all bearings including BB, headset, front wheel bearings. I have to do the rear ones tomorrow.

It's a shimano 105, not sure of the vintage, but it's probably 90's. I kept the stock suntour one just in case i wanted to return the bike to stock. The front is the original suntour.
