Hello everyone. Sadly, I’m selling this beautiful surgical instrument of a bike which is a little too big for me. It’s a Motobecane Team Track, hardly used at all and stored indoors. Comes with the original factory stickers still on the frame. The original owner has made some upgrades – bullhorns, brakes/calipers, saddle/seatpost, IEA cog and then ridden it for a grand total of around 100 miles before deciding it was too hilly and he was reverting back to a geared bike.
I have then ridden it an additional whopping 150 miles (in dry summer conditions) and realised it’s a little too big and frankly a bit too nice for me. I’ve now gone back to a steel beater bike with cheaper components.
As you can see from the photos, the bike is a garage queen and as such everything is in a 9/10 condition. The paint has only got a couple of tiniest chips pictured and a hardly visible ding to the top tube as seen in one photo, from when I knocked it over inside.
It’s super responsive and light and I think it should belong to someone who will ride it more frequently than I do.
Top tube size is 58cm. Here is the geometry of the bike:
FRAME Motobecane Custom Butted and Tapered Aero Profile 6066 Aluminum. Track Dropouts, 120mm rear spacing with steel dropout inserts. Drilled for rear brake mount.
FORK Motobecane FC-770 Straight Blade Carbon Fiber, Aero-section Track fork, 1.125 threadless Aluminum steerer tube (drilled and can accept a front brake)

BARS Cinelli Lola 6061 T6 alloy 31.8mm clamp 380mm width + LizardSkin tape
STEM Deda Zero Elementi 60mm reach / 31.7mm clamp
PEDALS n/aThe RRP of the bike without the upgrades was $1500 (https://www.motobecane.com/track/) + shipping fees + 20% VAT for imports.
A little unsure how to price it bearing in mind it’s almost brand new and the upgrades add up to quite a bit.I'm currently asking for £830.
Collection much preferred from London N7 although I’m open to discussing shipping options at the buyer’s expense.
£830!
