Restauration d'une AV89 : de la ruine à la route  !




 

Dear friends, vintage two-wheel enthusiasts,


We are delighted to present our latest mechanical adventure on the Atelier de la Vigne channel!


In our brand new video, dive with us into the exciting challenge of bringing a Motobécane AV89 back to life after it had seen better days.


This Motobécane, once neglected and poorly restored, was originally on its last legs.

But we undertook to restore it not to its former glory, as that was not part of the plan, but simply to bring it back to life with a mechanical overhaul.


In the video:


Initial condition diagnosis: Discover the extent of the damage and the mistakes made during previous restoration attempts. There was a lot of work to be done!


Disassembly and cleaning: Dive into the complete disassembly process, where each part was inspected, cleaned, and restored with the utmost care.


Brand new engine: Experience with us the excitement of installing a brand new engine, bringing our Motobécane renewed power and reliability.


Restoration tips: As a bonus, we share some tips and tricks we learned along the way to inspire your own restoration projects.


Join us in this captivating adventure, where passion for two-wheelers and the art of bringing past classics back to life meet. Click the link above to discover how our tired Motobécane AV89 is back on our roads!
