I hear that there are a few Moto experts here. I would really like help in choosing the color my frame will (soon) be. I'm not fond of orange.

Well John, if it's a Team Champion, that's the only color that I have ever seen. But, if it's a Le Champion, I've seen them in Turquoise w/white lugs (c. '71), all Turqoise ('72), all Lilac ('75). I can't remember the other years. I always thought the Lilac was pretty elegant with Motobecane's understated graphics.
