Thank you! Sorry, but I can not give more information about the bike! from the photo I am trying to figure out the model! I found it on a site for sale! so I asked for your help
|
As I recall, the "Nomad" was a similar low-end model. (Just a guess)
|
if one were trying to draw more interest, he would only post a non-drive side photo of this low level moto. (just a guess.)
you might try the 1978 catalogs (and the few years following) posted online for similar paint schemes. edit: check out those front eyelets on the fork. that's some real ugliness for any moto. |
If you're a noob, I'd avoid this bike. Cottered cranks are a PITA and require special tools, a missing French quill, levers, handlebars, saddle, and those axles don't look so original with the plain nuts on them.

Ignoring the tiny axles on the hubs, the cottered cranks, pantsguard and stamped dropouts are more than enough evidence that I should probably keep looking.
|
If that bike was mine, I'd grab the seat, stem and handlebar and sell the rest!
|
Circa 1980 "Club", would be my guess. Europe-only model I think. Most were sold in mixte form.
|
For reference, here is a link to the 1979 US catalog. That helps put a time frame on the graphics. But none of the models match up, so I think non-fixie may be right.
I don't disagree with what others have said about the market position of this bike or the potential pitfalls, but I'd be attracted to that frame for a utility or commuting bike, due to the relatively long chainstays, which are a boon when using rear panniers, as they help with weight distribution and heel strike. The extra eyelets on the fork are a real plus when desiring to fit a front rack, in addition to fenders. |
I am a bit puzzled by the double-eyeleted front dropouts; I don't recall having seen those on a Motobecane before. Could it be a Peugeot fork? (Not necessarily a bad thing.)
|
he sells 60 euro! I thought not a bad buy if I can reconstruct it

I don't know what the market is like in your area (Greece?), but here in Holland € 60 would be considered quite expensive for a project like that.
I picked up this Motobecane Club a while back for € 20: http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=314888 And this beauty went for something between the € 150 asking price and the € 95 bid I saw on it before it disappeared from the listing: http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=314890 |
