This is a hard one to categorise - is it a bird, is it a plane, is it Motobecane's answer to the Raleigh Grifter/Chopper, is it a shopper/porteur? Whatever, it had a six speed stick shift and a really cool set of dynamo lighting!

I don't think this qualifies as a randonneur or porteur...

Been posted a few times there. And even more lucrative ones elsewhere on the BMX and MTB side in the past.

@Canuk - please respect the wishes of the OP. He goes over backwards in nourishing us with a finely pointed theme for the duration, and while I know he his open to "flex" this is velo is easily recognisably "non approprié ici".

Let's get back in business. When a Pug - a black Pug sings a magic tune .... simple, straightforward, lovely to look at. Pre JPS fags.

That is lovely, amazed the white Delrin mech and lever have survived.
