Motobecane Gran Tour

Built from the bottom by my father, restored and repainted in 93'. He picked up the frame in paris in 80' and brought it to Copenhagen where he finished it after three years - tough to be a student in the 70's... Needs a wash but is in general good condition. He gave it to me when I turned 15 but I recently gave it back to him - he missed it and I have enough bikes...
