Description
The French Blue That Won The Tour.
Own a piece of cycling history. This is a genuine early-80s Motobecane road bike, built in France with the famous Vitus 888 TUBES LEGERS 9/10 lugged steel frame and original Motobecane M head badge.
Motobecane was founded in 1923 and became legendary sponsoring Tour de France teams with their iconic orange machines. This blue metallic machine was their do-anything machine - light enough to race, tough enough to tour.
Why you'll love it:
Glides, doesn't rattle. That Vitus 888 steel has that smooth, springy French ride modern alloy can't fake. Big 60cm lugged frame, perfect for 5'11 to 6'2. Ideal for sunny cafe runs, or a classy London commuter that turns heads.
