Re: Erector Set/Treasure Hunt aka Benelli Dynamo
Lots going on in my life right now, but not much on the Benelli. The cylinder is being bored out. Most of the things that I have yet to do require that the engine be complete and back in the frame. I did however order new rubber for the foot pegs. They are not exactly original, but they look great. Updates as they occur.
Hope for the best, expect the worst and take what comes!

Re: Erector Set/Treasure Hunt aka Benelli Dynamo
I stumbled across this fun thread looking for Benelli info. I just inherited a bike nearly identical to this one that has been a very nostalgic family heirloom and I'd like to get this bike cleaned up, shined up, and running. Did you ever finish this project?

Re: Erector Set/Treasure Hunt aka Benelli Dynamo
So, no I never did finish this project. I learned something important on it though. If you are not really excited about a project to start, DONT START! I never really cared about the Benelli. It just was not me. So after sitting in the basement for 4 years untouched I put it on CL. Got a guy coming from Michigan to take her away this morning. He has another one just like this, except blue. Sounds like the perfect guy for the Benelli. I guess he had one as a kid. So anyway, alls well that ends well. Here is a picture as she stands now.

Re: Erector Set/Treasure Hunt aka Benelli Dynamo
Why is it called an erector set?

Did they not have erector sets across the pond? A set of metal parts gears motors etc that could be asssembled in many different ways. Good wholesome fun for young kids. I loved mine.
