Hi to the CR List Members,

I picked up a Motobecane Champion Team track bike frameset over the weekend. It is the same color and build quality as the CT roadbike shown on the CR site:

The overall build quality of the frame is quite good showing plenty of care/skill and it has those heavy duty track-type Campagnolo drop outs that I see from time to time. I know nothing about this make. Can someone ID the production date for me, any background on this frame would be good if possible?

My guess is 1969-1972? WAG for sure...

Thanks to all,
