Hi
I am putting together an exhibition for Tour Downunder in Jan 2017 which will include an early 80's Team La Redoute Motobecane Team Champion - my own recent purchase as it turns out.
I include some technical history with each exhibit typically but am struggling to find some good information about the TC bikes generally and the 80's blue bikes specifically - apart from what is available on the Motobecane catalogues of the day.
Some snippets on internet suggest they were built on their own production line - a bit like the Raleigh SBDU bikes. They were built from Columbus tubing in lieu of the Reynolds usually used by Motobecane but no explanation why.
Classic Rendevous coverage on the brand is very brief - basically replicated on Wikipedia.
I know there are some Motobecane enthusiasts on this site - as wondering if anyone had some interesting background I could access?
Any help gratefully received
