Subject: [CR] Motobecane and Columbus tubing question.


Hello,

I recently bought a lime green Motobecane bicycle with Columbus tubing. It has been ridden just once. The parts are Campagnolo Nuovo Record, the crank arms indicate 1977. The rims are Super Champion, Saddle is S.Marco Supercorsa Lugs are longpoint, with cutouts, Fork crowns are Chromed.

Can anyone tell me what model this was? And, was it common to build Motobecanes with Columbus?

Best regards,
