So I have purchased my first road bike and I spent $300 dollars. Ive taken it in and had a initial work over done on it. At this point I am interested to know if the Motobecane lettering on its new paint job is legit. I have tried (unsuccessfully) looking up the serial number on the internet. There is no front plate on the bike but there are holes for one. Both rims are Weinmann's made in Belgium 27" x 1 1/4". The lugs on the front forks are decorative and seem to have a distinct resemblance to the letter "M". I would like to know a little bit more about what I am riding. Either way I think it was worth the money seeing how it seems to be a decent bike and I couldn't afford the $800 for an entry level newer model.
