Vintage French Touring Bike – Motobecane Mirage Sport – Made in France – $190 (Cash, Firm)
If you love the history and craftsmanship of vintage bicycles, this one’s for you. This is a Motobecane Mirage Sport, proudly marked Made in France, from the era when Motobecane was building some of the most respected road and touring bikes in Europe. Motobecane was a legendary French manufacturer, known for their precise steel frames, smooth-riding geometry, and attention to detail.
• Classic French Craftsmanship – Built with a lightweight steel frame, this bike delivers that comfortable, springy ride that vintage road and touring bikes are known for.
• Made in France – Not a modern reissue or overseas remake. This is an original French-built Motobecane, making it collectible for enthusiasts and vintage bike lovers.
• Smooth and Simple Drivetrain – Traditional downtube shifters and a classic double crankset give you a direct, tactile riding experience.
• Upgrades and Components – Features Tektro side-pull brakes for reliable stopping power, Hutchinson handlebar tape, and tires that appear to be in good condition.
• Wheel Size and Fit – Approximately 27-inch wheels (see tape measure photo), perfect for road cruising, commuting, or restoring as a vintage Eroica-eligible ride.
• Condition – Overall good vintage condition with some expected cosmetic patina and light surface rust in a few spots, giving it authentic character. Would benefit from a tune-up before serious riding.
Whether you want a conversation piece, a fun project bike, or a daily rider with old-school French touring bike charm, this Mirage Sport is a perfect choice. These bikes are sought after by collectors and vintage cycling fans because they capture the feel of classic European road riding.
