Motobecane C4 Classic Road Bike 1978

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 and later blue machines.

This sturdy and reliable Motobecane C4 dates back to the 1970s and is in great condition. Thoroughly checked by our mechanics, the bike is fitted with high class parts, including a Huret Success titanium derailleur or the extra smoothly running Alpin hubs.
The frame itself was a high class lugged product and it stood quite high in the Motobecane's hierarchy. The frame is made of great Reynolds 531 double butted tubes and altogether the bike was meant to save some weight over other models.

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!
