Gyro/Spinner On Old School Freestyler?
BMX20:
Excellent! I've ordered an Odyssey Dyro 2 in black - which should look nice. Sadly, my budget constraints (and my road-biking) mean I can't stretch to another bike. That said, BITD, Trevor Cowell and Glynn Lewis were doing things way beyond what I hope to achieve and they seemed pretty happy with the bike, so I think I'll be alright. I'm under 80 kg too, so I'm confident in the fabulous bit of British engineering I'll be riding on!
Time will tell ...

Sorry for the dumb question, but you have ordered a 1" gyro yes? Important this as the cable plates are likely to slap around if you fit a 1 1/8" version.
Trevor is here on this forum, and regularly rides. Rides well actually :)
I don't have any info on Glynn, last time I saw him was around a decade ago, he came to Rom for a ride - on his old DP. He did ride a couple of the Leigh on Sea jams I believe in the mid 90s.
BMX20:
Good point. I didn't specify actually - though hopefully with it being advertised as NOS it'll be 1" (I'm sure I'll be able to return it if it's not). One thing about restoring - patience is a virtue ...
I seem to remember Trevor Cowell was the first guy I saw do a Cowboy. I worked on that bad boy till I nailed it, and it's one of the first things I'll be working on once I get my DP up and running. Anyone got a link to a vid of TC doing one?

P.S. Brake pads, chain tensioners, and rear DC 901 turned up today. Small steps ...

Just heard back via ebay, definitely a 1" steerer, so that's a relief. Incidentally, I recommend rockchick_1 on ebay for outstanding service.
Nice vid Al, anyone find him doing a cowboy?
