The French Connection! C'est fini!

Mikku:
So with the Free Agent done, it’s time to return to Europe for my next build: a Motobecane MX400:-











I love the lines of these French frames, so when this one popped up for sale on here, I couldn’t resist it despite the lack of og forks. I’ve enough parts on hand to make this a much quicker build than the FA, though I’m going to transfer some of the parts over to speed things up a little bit. :daumenhoch: Colour-wise, I’m going for a bit of blue to match the og decals and keep the French-theme going, but otherwise that’s about it!



Progress pics to follow in due course!

Nice to see something different cool  :daumenhoch:

deeman:
I have always liked these although I can't believe they were race bikes....the design would lend itself to freestyle so well!  :daumenhoch:

Mikku:
Well the freestyle scene was well underway by then so maybe they thought they'd kill 2 birds with just the 1 frame! It's certainly a sturdy piece of kit!! :daumenhoch: 

oldschoolace:
Cool frame, I nearly picked one up myself a while back. Seem to remember seeing quite a few with Arx or Trx forks  :daumenhoch:
