Neat little bike! I did a little looking around at the
Motobecane brand and they are a stylish little machine indeed. Too bad the essentials are damaged.
I bet if you asked around on the
Moped Army website you might get lucky.
I've been looking at too many custom bike builder websites. I see some really neat bits on this moped that are just really neat to see. The engines look like art and to build a custom expansion pipe to match just sets it off. This guy went a little overboard with his
custom Motobecane but he saw the beauty in the pieces as well. I think yours is a perfect chassis to begin a very nice restoration or to just assemble with a good engine and ride. Classy. Put a little French flag on it as well when you're ready.
