A full page ad in the March 1982 Bicycling shows the Motobecane Team Champion. Columbus SL tubing, Cinelli BB shell, Simplex dropouts, and Extra-light Bocama lugs, Arcor fork crown, "wood insert" in fork.
Compenents are Wienmann Super Carrera 400 brakes (recessed), Simplex 6600 derailleur, Stronglight 107 crankset, Maillard 700 pedals, Mavic SSC rims, Clement Criterium tubulars, Maillard 700 Pro hubs.
I'm curious about that wood insert for the fork. Is that in the bottom of the steerer tube? Doesn't say in the advertisement.
