Chas.

A friend of mine whose Dad owned a bike shop recently gave me a rear stay spreading tool. Pretty old...I have to look at the brand....

I like old tools. i still need a bunch for my tool set (particularly the headset race tools). I want to buy it all vintage, because the old tools "feel" better. (seriously no pun intended there).

it's a ~41mm stack height so it may be an Super Olympic or an Olympic bike with campagnolo headset!!!!that's finally a very good deal!!!

Here's a 1976 Super Olympic that was on eBay last year. I think the seller was located in Germany.

Images très gentilles sur Flickr. J'ai une collection de Motobecanes. J'ai seulement vu quelques vélos de Motoconfort aux USA. Le modèle Super Champion n'a pas été importé dans ce pays.

Cher Verktyg,je suis touché que vous répondiez en français!je vais essayer d'être à la hauteur avec mon mauvais anglais! Smile
"J'ai seulement vu quelques vélos de Motoconfort aux USA. Le modèle Super Champion n'a pas été importé dans ce pays."
You've right this model was export (to my mind) only in U.K ,i've found a source in flickr (from "stronglight").
I've been searching for a nice motobecane since many months but even in France it's difficult!
As you know we have a fantastic "source" call "le bon coin" and we could only find some basic models of motobécane but my son has found this motoconfort in a flea market (we call it "les puces" in France) and bought it for my birthday (only 10euros..sorry),it's a good model but only with 3 reynolds tubing.It found his place with my other french popular (peugeot,mercier,gitane).But i'm still looking for a motobécane "Le Champion"..and a peugeot px10.
It's a question of patience and that's fascinating...
I can't wait to ride my new gitane!
