Dynamax Motobecane

Joined the forum not too long ago, when I took on my deceased father's bike restoration project (video almost done).
It been a very interesting journey finding all that I could about "Dynamax". It seems the head badge that I took off my father's bike represents the earliest "Dynamax" bikes that showed up in Canada.


This is the headbadge from my father's bike. I have never seen another like it. Its metal, and has raised letters and relief


I could never positively identify the bike/frame, but the details point to a version of the "Motoconfort". Yeah, the bike has been a mystery, and the "restoration" was impossible because of that.
It had a French bottom bracket and certain frame details that I'm sure some folks here would recognize immediately.
When my newbie status changes, and I can post images, I will.
Its been a cathartic journey to honor my father.
I learned so much doing this project.
Now I am hooked on vintage French bikes...I think I might do another "restoration" for myself after I finish Dad's.
