Anyone ever rode the motobecane bikes? I see they have a titanium hardtail bike with XTR for $2200. Sounds to good to be true. I would like to hear any experience others have had with this brand.

My first moped was a Motobecane, a Mobylette - with a centrafugal clutch/gearbox - not sure it had any titanium in it...

They don't seem to have a website that is up to date?

The current Motobecane is not the French company that had a lot of success in the Tour De France and in cycling generally, I believe an American investor has bought the rights to the name and they are standard mass produced in Taiwan frames (not that that is a bad thing)I believe the old Motobecane now only makes moto's under the name MBK.
As for are they any good.... aint got a clue.
