    Motobecane La Redoute Road Bike.

    Hello, I think this topic might be the right place for putting my question... :) I just bought a Motobecane Equipe Pro and wonder about the ways it differs from your exceptionally beautiful La Redoutes. The bike is in an exceptionally good condition. Although it's quite similar to the La...
