I've posted a few photos of my 1968 Motobecane Mirage on Flickr. The
first photo shows the entire bike after the WECO pedals and the
Motobecane-branded saddle were removed:

Here's the headbadge, saddle, and handlebar plugs:

I found this on Craigslist and had been following it for a couple of
months, hoping that the price would come down, which didn't happen. The price
of $149 may seem a bit high to some, but to find a Motobecane of this age and
condition is a very rare opportunity. The colour is best described as a
brilliant avocado green with gold lettering and trim. Except for a few
scrathes here and there, you could consider this to be a cream puff.
The seller was an interesting fellow. He has a large collection of 1930s
to 1950 American bikes, such as Schwinn, Firestone, Goodrich, etc. In his
driveway he has a very, very rare Edsel station wagon.
