New Tires and Tubes

 

Needs a return spring for the gears.

 

Feel free to ask me any questions.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Pics are coming.

 

It's a Super Mirage.

 

I don't know what the frame size is. It's definitely big for me. I'm 5'8" and can't get both my feet on the ground with the seat all the way down.

 

Golden color. All motobecane parts are still on it and original from what I can tell. Seat is in good condition.

 

Sorry for the bad pictures. I'll have some time to snap better pics tomorrow.

Oh, nice..could be a good project for a single speed or fixie......

 

Just to clarify (and help the sale), despite popular belief fixies were around before hipsters. They make a great spring training bike that gets you and your legs back in shape. Imagine riding 20-30 miles with out being able to rest or change gears. Its a cheap way to train and keep miles off your primary bike. That's why some of the people ride them around town; they would rather risk a $75 bike get stolen than their primary bike. The others are just pabst blue drinking hipsters.

 

good luck OP

Thanks for some of the extra info. The only other info I can give is that this is a 1980 at the newest due to the round emblem on the front.

 

I'm willing to negotiate on this if someone is interested.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Mine is a '78 Grand Touring Motobecane and it has the same emblem on the front.

 

Anyhow, these are super cool bikes.. you will have a lot of luck selling it on CL if you feel like going that route.

I just got into cycling and would love a road bike. I don't know much about parts and such. Is the spring an affordable/easy fix? Is it ridable as is? Does everything function? I'm extremely interested.

 

Chances are pretty good that it really needs a new shift cable and housing as the old one is rusted or gunked up. If you get the parts and DIY it would probably cost under $10. Take it to a shop and you're probably looking at another $20 in labor.

It needs the spring to be ridden. I don't know how much it would cost to get it. Everything else seems to function though.
