I had seen this bike listed on Craigslist numerous times. The price seemed reasonable, but it wasn’t right for me to make the hour long trip. As usual, the CL photo didn’t reveal the details that I needed to know so I never made a call. Then one day, I saw the bike listed on Ebay. Now I could see the details better. The bike intrigued me, and I decided to bid. After the five day bidding period, my opening bid won the bike. When I picked the bike up, I was impressed with it. Although the steel rims and high tensile steel tubes indicate an entry level bike, I was impressed with its character. The lugs, highlights, foil decals, Motobecane “M” markers, and metallic green paint had me smitten! Although I will likely sell it someday, for now I’m happy to have it in my collection.
I have done my homework, but I can’t find much information about Dynamax. From what I’ve gathered, Motobecane was prevented from marketing their bikes under their name in Canada. So Motobecane rebadged their bikes in order to enter the Canadian market. If you look at the fork, you can see the Motobecane “M” in the crown. Otherwise, I don’t know very much about the bike.
I would appreciate help in identifying the year and Motobecane equivalent. I absolutely love the decal on the top tube. Any help would be appreciated.
