Aaron D.’s Bitchin’ Green Motobecane Mixte (France)

Posted

Today we head to France for some minty fresh mixte. This Motobecane sent in by Aaron D. has me green with envy, but if I owned the baby, my first upgrade would a nice shiny proper chrome pie plate.  Plastic pie plates are for sissies. Oh, and I’d see if I could get that seat a little lower.

Bitchin’ green Motobecane that I found at someones garage sale. It looked like someone rode this for awhile and let it sit in their garage for 30 years.

Thanks Aaron

    I’m in love!!!! It brought back such good memories. I had the same bike over 20yrs ago and it was the love of my life. I was hit by a car while riding it and the rear tire was destroyed, I was a teen and I refused to go in the ambulance or the cops because they wouldn’t bring my bike. Plain and all I walked for and hour caring my bike home because the back tire wouldn’t turn. 2 yrs later it was stolen and I didn’t ride again until this year. Determined to find my bike again (somewhat) I came up on this site. Your bike is in outstanding looking conditions. That bike was the smoothest ride I ever had. Thanks for bringing back my great memories.

    That is a georgeous bike, I will have to chime in about it too!
    How much does that bike weight?
    Curious as I am looking at buying one too, if I can.

    All the best to you!
