Show your Motobecane Grand Jubile
I think Shinibop started this whole "show your Moto" business with his Team Champion thread, and then Rootboy comes up with a Le Champion thread, and as if that weren't enough, Chi-Town Al had to post a "Show your Grand Record thread".
- All very drool-worthy I assure you.
Well then, why hasn't anyone come up with a "Show your Grand Jubile" thread?
Are they chopped liver or something?
(Show them if you got them.)

The start of one... frame from ebay (fork replaced) thankfully I have the correct Jubilee derailers (Campagnolo dropouts) and Normandy hubs; piecing together the rest... I have a later SR Motobecane triple crank I've built as 36/40/44. Got some kinda French bar and stem here someplace, some new Sun rims, still looking for a seat, probably Weinmann sidepulls.

I like the cleaver mod of the Pletsher hardware. Oh yeah the bike is nice too.

why are you guys better photographers than the grand record owners (like myself)?
so if any of you have both this and the gr model in the same size, we're all interested to know how the framesets compare in dimensions, angle, etc...

Already posted in another thread, but I'm always happy to show off...er, I mean, share. I love this bike! She's an '81 or an '82.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to build up a '76 GJ, and I'm wondering if someone could post a few close ups of the brakes: levers, hangers, and calipers. I'm certain I'm short a few parts here.
Many thanks,
Tim

Thanks, Auchen, I almost pm'd you directly figuring that you had the pics on hand 
I'm looking at these thinking that there is no QR on the brakes, but it would be nice to have one.

Here's my '74 Grand Jubile'. I think the GJ is a real classic with all french components except for the brakes.

As for the brake levers, in auchen's picture, the quick releases are built right into the lever and work just great, in my opinion.
