is the back wheel rubbing because the wheel is out of true or because the frame is bent?
my motobecane is also about 40. it is a fine machine. i got to it via more or less the same kind of process that you did, riding a hybrid for a few years, gradually finding that what started as advantages became limitations and then getting a road bike. there is fetish value in the ole motobecane, but there are obviously levels of biketechnology that can get you moving about faster and maybe someday i'll work my way up to one of them (i am lusting after fixed gears these days...) but we'll see.
