Restoring an old Motobecane

kingstonian

I have an old Motobecane, given to me when I was a teenager. I used it every day, trained on it, even raced and TT'd on it, but haven't ridden it for 20 years. Have the itch to tidy it up and get it back on the road so was wondering.....

- Who can I get to respray it? Would prefer someone in the London area

- Any recommendations for companies or websites etc where I can buy a few components? I replaced a few of the original components with what I could afford at the time ie the cheapest Shim stuff, so want to replace them

Thanks!!!

I have a mint motobecane sprint.

Spraying, of you want quality argos.

Components ebay rocks.

Here endeth the message.

I would be tempted to go for a powder coat with Armourtex in Hackney... 50-70 pounds or so.... going for enamel is likely to cost you close to 200 quid these days.
The powder coated frames I have seen look pretty good
