1984 Motobecane Moto-Max
Stunning design.
I stumbled upon this bike on ebay and had to have it. I'm a sucker for the low profile design, but the unique sleeved toptube as well as the internal cable routing made it impossible to forget. I had no idea that it was such a stone cold survivor. Every part aside from the tires appears to be original. I've swapped the original CW-type bars for these Redline V-bars 'cause they make the bike feel snappier. I still have the original bars though. The geometry is pretty slack, but the cool factor more than makes up for it!

hi,
your bike is one Mx400. You can look my bike to compare the original part and your bike.

Thanks y'all! I thought mine was a MX 400, but the decals say MOTO MAX, so I thought this may be a case of the frame getting a different model name when it landed on North American shores.
