Hello to all,

Here is a frame I know little about. I was told it may be a team bike. The lug work, bottom bracket and drop outs are very clean simple yet finely filed with much extra metal removed. It is original bright orange with Team Champion decals on the top tube. Reynolds 531 on the seat tube and forks. The steering tube is stamped Reynolds 531 Butted tubes 6/13. Older long rear dropouts that are really filed away and very nice. I have not seem a Motobecane cleanly done as this. M head tube silver metal decal. Seat tube post is 26.6.

It came with campy parts, rear derail was 1972. BB cups thin style. Steel headset.

Any Ideas on this frame? I did not know Motobecane made such a lovely clean frame.
