………….yes I know!

Having built a couple of D-Tours only to sell them to friends in a matter of weeks of finishing them I thought I might have another go, especially when the frame fell in my lap. But then another search for forks began, and thankfully a rather helpful German pm'd me on Facebook in reply to my wanted ad. So having paid twice as much for the forks than I paid for the frame we are once again off and running!

As always it's not straight forward  :LolLolLolLol:

My desire is to emulate the 1986 Dyno Compe II catalogue bike, as you can see it's a standard D-30 frameset lavished with GT parts, some of which I already have. But the big blocker to this dream is the tyres! Where will I find NOS white Shinkos? and the wheels to some extent.

But then along came the next page of the catalogue which has the Dyno Compe I, again the same D-30 frame set, available in the same colours, but festooned with more modest parts.

And not a set of pretzels or a snake post in sight!

So potentially it looks like the main bulk of the Compe II but with spokes and black Shinkos, which I do have.


Anyway the frame is away with SBD and I have plumped for the pink rather than the green, and as both colours came in both models it really doesn't matter. This one might take a while.

That Swan Guy:
Actually, how weird is that?

I thought that picture looked familiar!

If you look closely that is a 901 potts mod!


Time to get fettling!
