Motobecane overhauled bought in France

[Ben N]

I bought this Motobecane here in France. I paid a faire price for it - €125 euros. Totally refurbished and it flys well!Not sure what year the frame is? Maybe early 80s? Any ideas guys. It's Vitus tubing.

'82 Jubilee Sport i believe

Maybe not a Jubilee Sports on second looks.

- Yours has centre pull brakes
- partially chromed forks
- lack of mudguard eyelets on rear dropouts
- outlined text font on downtube
- no rear brake outer cable lugs on top tube

Yep, sure does and it's quite light Vitus 172 tubing and blue not turquoise! It pulls well on hills too!' BN
