Hi all,
I recently got a vintage road bike I love, but the frame is damaged (bent headtube, fork angles steeply inward). I want to find another frame like it for a single-speed build.
The frame has features pointing to a Motobecane:
- Distinct internal cable routing through the top tube (matches the example below)
- Smooth, nearly invisible brazing/soldering
- Headtube has indicated sleeves (stylized lugs, not actual sleeves)
- Bottom bracket sleeve and tube soldering match the example, but the seat tube clamp differs
Here i found an Example:
Early 1980s Motobecane Jubilee Sport
The position and form of the cable routing points are identical to the example, as are the indicated sleeves on the headtube. Only the seat tube clamp/insert differs.
The tube soldering looks identical, except for the bottom bracket sleeve which got actual sleeves.
I’d love to identify the exact model and find a replacement frame.
Thanks
