1974 Motobecane Le Champion

Rides like it looks, handles well, not too twitchy. Front and rear der. are Campy NR (Pat. 72 on the rear), brakes are Universal Model 61. Rims should be tubular but were swapped for Rigida clinchers. Refinished by CyclArt in California to resemble Luís Ocaña's '73 Tour de France Team Bic bike, though it is alleged, as with most of that era's TDF winners, that he rode something else (a Gemini?) sprayed and decaled to look like a Bic orange Motobecane that year.
