After a recent move to new digs, the LBS rediscovered the following:
Motobecane Grand Jubiliee frame, new in the box. SN 8364102 Probably early 80s vintage.
21-inch (52cm?), c to t seat tube, 55 cm c to c toptube (sorry for mixing units, not my measurements)
Full Vitus 888 tubing. Dark metallic blue with lighter blue headtube and panels on seattube. Long point lugs with cutouts, and gold pinstripe details. flat crown fork with ~1/2 chrome blades Forged dropouts, no-name. Sorry, forgot to check if the der hangar was threaded. eyelets on front and rear dropouts. Braze-ons include; one water bottle attachment point, rear brake cable guides on toptube, shifter bosses, bb shift cable guides, chain hangar.
metallic headbadge
takes recessed allen front brake, and non-recessed rear (Why? Because it's French. Need I say more?)
Swiss bb threading. BB cups may be available if he can find them after the move.
One paint chip, ~1/8 inch diameter on lower side of downtube, so it's not absolutely perfect.
$150 plus shipping
Contact Chip at chip@wamsleycycles.com You can ask HIM if the rear der hangar is threaded.
That's all I know. No connection to the seller other than by doing something helpful for him, maybe he won't laugh so loud next time I bring in some beat up old vintage steel heap for him to work on. Or better yet, maybe he'll let me test ride one of his new line of fillet brazed touring frames. Was just in the shop, petting the prototype. Looks nekked without lugs, but what can you expect from a guy who learned frame building from the Taylors?
