From my 1972 Motobecane Grand Record. These decals do not last long.
What I find missing on repos are the accents above the "E".

Ha! Yes, I got so worried about him that yesterday I actually picked up the phone and called him several times until he finally picked up the phone. Turns out he has this thing he calls a 'job' and it takes a lot of his time. And he hasn't found the weather conducive to riding bikes. I meant to scold him about ignoring us on the forum, but I got distracted.

I was thinking of calling him as well! We need to tell him to hook into wifi on the train ride to and from DC, just to get his C&V fix now and again.

Love the patina and intrigued by the cable. Can you post a full picture of the bike here or in an appropriate c&v thread?

Thanks.
