1986 Motobecane MBK Vuillemot Supertour

This the MBK Team Replica of the bike used by Claude Vuillemot a great French Bmx Champion.

This the Replica of the bike used by Claude Vuillemot a great Bmx Champion.during the French" Supertour Bicross" in 1986 he won. The frame and fork was in my mom's garage since 1987 and when i decided to rebuilt my bikes i didn't know what to do with it...

The idea came to me when i saw a advertising for Michelin tires , Claude was sponsored by Michelin, and i decided to do the replica of his bike.
Mr Claude Vuillemot helped me to make a listing of the parts and even offered me the mushroom grips, the plate, a lot of stikers and even a Jersey of the Supertour leader. Great !!!! A very kind Champion.
