It's no help to identify the model of your father's bike, but it's easy on the eyes nevertheless. I love the blue you chose for the powder coat. Looking forward to seeing more pics, and thank you for sharing!
Exactly!!!! This is what happened to me when I sleuthed around.
I can't find the exact bike anywhere online.
Its a mystery. The headbadge vintage, as it looks like other Motobecane vintage bikes, definitely points to the 1950's
The things that make it weird are the cable guides and the "M" in the headtube and that old school headbadge. I put more pictures in my photo album.
Not sure if the color of the original bike was white or gold, based on what we saw before we painted it.
I'm thinking this was one of the first Dynamax bikes sent to Canada.
