I just got an early 70's Blue/White Motobecane Le Champion frame. Please email me and I will send you a picture if you want to see it.
I want to build it up close to original spec. It will not be a show bike, but basically so I don't wear out my nice PX-10, to have an alternative nice bike to ride.
I am looking for someone that is familiar with them that can help answer some questions. For now, these are what I can think of, but there are probably many more I will have.
1) Steerer/Stem - is it the french 22mm, or 22.2mm? 2) What crank would this have had, was it a Stronglight 93 or campy? 3) Is the tubing french size, do I need a french NR front deraileur, clips or other? 4) Did it have the campy downtube chrome cable guide near the BB? 5) What diameter seatpost would it have had? Was it a NR seatpost or other? 6) Was it a swiss thread BB? The previous owner tapped it to british, and it has a smooth BB now, but would like to know for historic sake.
Thanks, and sorry bout all the questions, just excited? Dan Kasha Seattle, Wa
