Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone have Detailed Motobecane Le Champion SL pics

I've been trying to get a better understanding of hte overall frame quality and look of the Motobecane Le Champion SL frame, and the picture on the website is not very helpful. I'd like to see the bike from the back, front, and in 3 dimensions.

Anyone have one of these who can provide some pictures? I thought there was a Motobecane pictures thread floating around, but I didn't find it in my search.

Right - Ritchey wheels now. The site says between 15 and 16lbs.

Notorious for being 1-2lbs heavier than stated. Don't buy one soley expecting a 15lb bike or you will be disappointed.

anyone else got any pictures. I'd like to see more of the silver framed version as well.

Isn't there a post your motobecane pictures thread around? I can't seem to find it.
