Oldie, but goodie

As far as I know, this bike is an early 80's model. Does anyone have any idea what this rascal might be worth. It has bar end shifters and is in pretty good shape.

Probably not worth much to anyone other than a Motobecane fan, but I would snatch that up and restore it just for the heck of it. My guess would be $100-$150, depending on how well everything actually works.

I didn't really know, I just took a chance on it. I have rode it and it rides pretty darn good. I will hang it in my garage though, it will be something to talk about. Thanks for your reply.

That's a nice bike!

I saw a bum riding around down town on an old Lotus. Would have been cool to have.

Met too. And there are all sorts of follow up comments I could make, but I still refrain.
