Dirt Disciple
Frame from Motobecanne's flagship model the C5 from 1979/80. Full Columbus tubing and size 57cm centre to centre

This frame is in extremely good condition with original paint and stickers. A few marks here and there, but I don't think it has done many miles. Takes a Swiss BB, comes with the fixed cup
£70 +post

If anyone knows how to add these links as pics feel free
 
Does it have recessed brake holes, for allen key brakes?
And whats the top tube length, centre to centre?
Finally - not sure I've heard of a Swiss BB - are you sure? Is the headset thread English?
Cheers

Swiss BBs really are a thing.

Apparently, they have the same thread as a French BB but the fixed cup is left threaded for reliability.
