My 1978 Motobecane Grand Touring has barely a scratch on it. I bought it from the original owner in Canon City, CO who had obviously used it very little. But the Cyclotouriste crank was what recommended it to my notice, although it was really geared more for open country than mountain touring - I've proven that the hard way, having ridden it to Kansas in one direction and (part way) up the Continental Divide in the other. I've since replaced the 56/49 half-stepped large rings with a more manageable 48/36 combination.
