Riviera
This 3 Speed folding bicycle is designed for everyone in the family to enjoy. With a flick of the levers, the seat, or the handle bar, can be adjusted to suit a 10-year old or a 6 foot man. It’s durable and fun to ride. Built with 20″ wheels, it is easy to store. And easy to carry in a car, plane or boat. It’s no wonder folding bicycles have become so popular in Europe.

Nobly
Sporty, nimble and comfortable. Distinctively classic in design. Equipped with easy-reach handle bar for safety and comfort. Streamlined fenders and handy rear carrier. Definitely made for those who demand quality and utility combined with a noble ride.

[The Nobly men’s and women’s bicycles on a lawn with two people standing among tree trunks, and two detail photographs at the upper left of the handlebar with brake levers and the rear carrier over the fender. The winged crest is at the lower right, and a small pen scribble sits in the corner of the first detail photograph.]

Nomade
Specifically designed for the young on the move. For those who demand the most, and with a conservative budget. It is light, swift and beautiful. Built without any sacrifice in Motobecane’s high quality standard of fine 10 Speed bicycles.
Photographed at Busch Garden, Los Angeles, Calif.

[The Nomade bicycles in two photographs, one with a man and a woman beside two bicycles on a garden path and a smaller one of a single bicycle on a paved walk. The text block is at the upper left, with a pen figure written on the large photograph and the logotype at the lower right.]
