Hi,
I picked up a frame at a thrift store today,
it's pretty nice, but has been painted.
There are engraved M's or like upside down W's (looks
almost like a royal crown?) on the
lugs on the tubes, and the bottom bracket is really weird,
it's got cut outs on the bottom of the BB, again two
large M's, so you can see right through it. Then
on the top of the seat stays near the binder bolt it
says PP and then a small M in a circle, or maybe PR,
I'm not sure, is it a Motobecane maybe? it's light
with nice dropouts (no name in the dropouts though,
and I though MBK's used Simplex dropouts) and the
tubes sound expensive when flicked. Only parts on
it are mystery headset and vintage ITM seatpost.
thanks for any input.
