Right,I dont know if this should be in here or in wanted section?,I have just got meself a Motobecane mx 400 frame with ARX forks to do a survivor build on...why I hear some of you at the back ask?...or what the hell is one of them?...well pretty scarce over here but I have wanted one for a while now as its a little different looking to most other race frames.
What I want to know/see is any info on them?...apart from stuff on the museum pics etc and I know Claude Vuillemot the french national champ used to ride them...just wondered if anyone out there knows much?...any info gratefully received chaps :)

Just so you know what im on about...Oh and thats not a dent in one of the top tubes...its got internal brake cable routing :coolsmiley:

NORTY40:
I like that Ronnie , something a bit different from the norm  :daumenhoch:

Can't help on any info though mate  :D

Moose:
I quite like them.

That must be a later version - the one I had didn't have the head tube/down tube gusset and the seat tube gusset was inbetween the top tubes/seatstays.

So, you grabbed it ?  ;)
Well done Ronnie

Yea this is an 84/85 on the cusp of when they changed but before they changed to MBK from Motobecane...and I beleive it is the so called second generation with the differences as you say :D
