Seeing photos like the following almost makes me want to become "motorized". It's a restored 1956 Motobecane... a "mobilette" or moped. I imagine you can always just use the pedals, too. Could those be 650B tires? Very Pretty!

Of course, we fret over simply finding vintage French threaded bicycle components. Imagine looking for obsolete and uniquely French replacement engine parts!
