Assembled in Varberg, Sweden 1981 at the MCB factory. Originally with Crescent-logotype on the frame. Got her for free, stripped her (hence the not so attractive space for fenders and somewhat stretched geometry in the rear frame), cleaned her, changed the tyres, put on new handlebar tape, rewired/adjusted the brakes and gears and finally lubed her all up. For less than 50 euro I'm now faster than most other commuters here in Malmö, Sweden. As you can see the ugly saddle and crankset needs to be replaced (bottom bracket is the horrible french standard) and the frame needs a paint job. Since I'm almost a giant measuring just under 2 meters she's really a size to small but for now she does her job.
