Essex and Motobecane

[dkimaging]

My first fresh finds of the year. a 3 speed Essex for free and a 77 Motobecane for 60.00. The motobecane has a bicycle mode. A little fresh gas and off it went.

Photo fresh off my truck.

Cool! I'm visting St.Louis in a few weeks, and my family down there told me one of their neighbors has a 1970s Velosolex for $75!
But how to get it back to California :lol: Greyhound?

that moped is sweet. you should be able to get decent money for it in this economy. someone on Moped Army would kill for it probably.
