Vintage Steel Motobécanes

You can find some very nice deals on old steel Motobécanes on either Ebay or CraigsList. Nothing rides quite like these old French touring bikes - very light feel to the steering even if the bike is not that light. Must be the frame geometry and trail they choose for the front fork.
