Subject: [CR]Motobecane Team Champion?

Anyone out there know the whereabouts of a Motobecane Team Champion for sale? Specifically, I am looking for one of those from the mid seventies, orange, with the 531 frame (like the one Luis Ocana won the TDF on). Looking for a 22 inch frame. I have now decided that this is the frame size for me, and I will probably be looking for a good home for my '72 Raleigh Pro, a great bike, but it's a 23.5 frame. Let me know if you see one; just the frame, or the whole bike.

Secondly, I picked up an old black '73 Raleigh Competition frame some time ago, but I've never built it up. Could someone provide their opinion on the virtues of this particular bike vs. a Moto Grand Record of the same era?

thanks,
