Motobecane BX20

[RadRat]

Hey guys,

I found this old Motobecane BX20
and quite curious about the frame make and date...
If I look up the BX20 on BMXmuseum I find a lot of BYZ Yamaha / Tange frames
But I think the one I found is a older type BX20 ?
maybe also "Tange make" judging by the drop outs?
The frame has letter stamps and numbers on different places.
It also kind of looks like an Kuwahara KE (1979) not the fork..

















Going the build it up 70's style.

Just need a waffle seat
and two 20x2.125's

It also originally has this sweet double clamp stem!

Just swapped the horrible kotter crank with takagi set up,
and Weinmann brake with Honda brake lever boot

french made,  made scooters and trials bikes befor entering the bmx market ,    there is a Motobeane section on museum ,the  lower end models were just that, garbage tbh , the  mx400 was about the best race frameset they knocked out,    they made some freestyle framsets after Yamaha bought them 83 ish under the MBK badge,
