Michael H’s 1979 Bennett Super Sport

Posted

Today’s entry comes to us from Michael H in Oz. This his 1979 Bennett Super Sport.

This was my brother’s bike — I had one exactly the same; his was green, mine was coffee — It was sitting under our parents house for 30 years and looked liked a lost cause when I tried to wheel it out. Spent 5 days over the holidays breathing life back into it.

    Nice save Michael, looks like all that worked paid off in a lovely road bike ready to for another 30 years. Does your Brother want his bike back now that you fixed it all up?

    Michael H.,
    Nicely done, love the crank on that old bike!
    Outstanding restoration of an oldie and great job saving the nice head badge that proves it’s a Bennett–reborn.
