I've been watching this link with some interest and amazement as I have ironically just bought my own Motobecane Grand Jubilee. It was bought as a frameset off Ebay just before Christmas ($85) with the intention of temporarily replacing my PX-10 as my commuter bike while the PX-10 is repaired. Mine doesn't have the Nervex lugs, but the rear dropouts are Huret. Thankfully I had enough French bits to put it together, save the Jubilee derailleurs and shifters I bought from Mike Barry. So here are some images of it complete and together (just finished last night). Any ideas as to the date of this bike? I'm thinking it may be late 1970's or early 1980's. I'm looking forward to going for a ride on it, but as you will see from the pictures it will have to be on the rollers!
Hopefully this link will work, as I'm new to this too....
