Charlie has it correctly. Plus... It should not be difficult to determine whether a Motobécane frame is indeed a Grand Jubilé and whether or not it is made from Reynolds 531.
The frame should have a 531 insignia on the seat tube, with "Grand Jubilé" painted on the top tube, as in these photos:

It's funny that the eBay bike brought nearly $200. Last year, I could barely give my frame away. Like the eBay bike, it was about 59.5cm. But it might still be available. (Fellow list member Drew Monroe will know for sure.) Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia, USA
