Motobecane Grand Record

I want to show you this beauty.
Excellent paint. Of course needs a tune-up.
Virus 172 frame and fork. Is this tubing close to the Reynolds 531?
Shimano 600 group.

Vitus 172 is decent stuff and I believe weight wise its a step below Reynolds the Vitus tubing to own is there 888 stuff. Very nice bike

I normally HATE the 70s brown/gold/yellow color pallet in a way that draws rage vomit up into my throat and twitches my flamethrower trigger finger, but the colors on that bike are amazing! Wow, great find!

Nice! The Grand Record was #3 in the Motobecane line-up at the time. If you haven't found it yet, the 1980 brochure can be found here.

BTW, have blue one myself:
