Motobecane "Professionnel 1", 1977

The frameset made entirely of Reynolds 531, which I had overlooked several times, electrified me when I took a closer look at it, because it comes from the so-called "atélier artisanale", which means that this model was also only built to order and to measure. So I again decided to build it according to the catalogue, although I only have a single extract and even intensive research did not yield any further results. It was nice that the factory specifications gave me the choice between Huret Success and Jubilée; so it was the latter gear group. The equipment is almost completely French, only the Universal-68 brake system from Italy and the Spanish Olympic-64 pedals stand out.
