jancokotze Posted June 17, 2009 Share I don't know. Never seen that name before. I need to do a little more market research before I jump into it.jancokotze2009-06-17 06:29:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] http://www.equusbicycle.com/bike/motobecane/1979/moto197903.pdf Can't upload the pics. but this is their 1979 catalogue. I had their Nomade Sprint and jeez I loved that bike. 12 speed, blue metallic frame, french-made. It was the business - thanks for bringing back memories. well you did say if anybody knows anything.................. It cost 115 quid (R1,400) and weighed 27.5lbs - what's that 13kgs?

javadude Posted June 17, 2009 Share I've seen those American Motobecanes sell for really cheap prices online, but according to wikipedia they have nothing to do with the original French company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jancokotze Posted June 17, 2009 Share Yeah, these bikes that I am looking to import is a product by an American company named Motobecane. The French company got bankrupt and them bacame MBK under the ownership of Yamaha. So these have nothing to do with the french Motobecane.jancokotze2009-06-17 07:28:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowtwitch Posted June 18, 2009 Share Plenty of french Motobecane's being transformed into fixies these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted June 18, 2009 Share There is one on Bike Bay, with 7900 Dura Ace brand new for R27 000.00. That is a really good price, but the frame looks horrible. It's a bright orange colour and has the same shape as the old EPS (or is it EPK) carbon frames from a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
