I'm looking around for a Motobecane catalog to help me place this frame. Found 76 and 84 catalogs online - and this plain, homely little thing surely falls somewhere in between. Top tube cable guides, but no bb cable routing. Also interesting how far to the REAR that derailleur cable stop is ?? No chrome on this one (76 does, 84 doesnt)
