Motobecane Grand Jubile

A Classic Made in France The Grand Jubile was one of the finest road bicycles Motobecane made in the early to mid 1970's. It was the third from the top of Motobecane's line. This Grand Jubile is in superb condition with hardly any wear and has been meticulously cleaned, lubed and adjusted. The original candy apple red paint is almost flawless and without touchups. The decals and pinstriping are excellent. The tires, brake levers and hoods, as well as all cables and cable housings have been replaced.
