Description
Established in 1923 Motobécane was one of the most famous French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles. "Motobécane" is a compound of "moto", slang for motorcycle; "bécane" is slang for "bike."
They became more known to an international public by their sponsoring of professional teams and winning the Tour de France with their typical orange machines.
This strong yet elegant Motobecane Nomade dates back to the early 1980s and is in original condition. Thoroughly checked by our mechanics, the bike is fitted with quality French parts.
The frame is an rather rare and intetresting semi mixte geometry, where the sloping top tube is splitting just in front of the seat tube.
Either to take part in Eroica events, to hit the daily bike path or to cycle to the next café, this Motobecane is a reliable choice. Without renouncing a vintage style!
