I missed your earlier thread on this, I'll have to go and have a read.
Don't know anything about them but it's a good looking frame 8)
What's the welding like?

the welding is not bad in places matey...in some places like the gusset etc and brace on rear it almost looks like it is brazed as it is nearly impossible to see the joins :)

They had this supposedly unique welding process called "inexternal" and adapted from their road bikes



Smooth and clean look for sure !

The Motobecane/ now MBK brand distributed in Europe has nothing to see with the US Motobecane , they just bought the name but that's not the same kind of cheese  :D

I think it might be some kind of cover. There's a better look at it on this:
Other shots of it here (without the cover?): http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/motobecane/28016

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
