newbie 1st post, should i restore this ?
adam:
Hi all,
This is my first post here, my girlfriend recently gave me her old bmx and I am hoping to bring it back to full original glory, if it is considered worth doing. I'm not completely sure what it is but think it's a GT Dyno? One of the parts has 1996 on it but I'm not sure about the other parts.
I didn't want to turn up here and take up bandwidth so I have posted pics to a page on my site http://www.adboo.com/bmx.htm and included pics of components that were on it.
If someone would be kind enough to take a look and help me out that would be great, I'd like to know what it is, as I read that there are various types of Dyno's. I'd also be interested if people know what proper parts it should have on it from original so I can begin to look for them.
Many thanks.....Adam
P.S. I bought an Aero Reflex F+F on ebay a week ago and am looking forward to building this up with the help and advice of the forum !

Hello mate and welcome to RAD! :daumenhoch:
Yes it is a GT Dyno......of around mid to late 90's i think.....it is one of the less desirable ones but they're all worth bringing back to life mate. as for parts? well they weren't too high end so they weren't kitted out with the most expensive stuff. Just clean it up a bit mate and put as much as the original bits back on, do it as a survivor and spend the money putting better parts on your reflex :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the sound advice Pickle.
I have spent the day sitting in the back garden going over the frame, forks, bars and stem with Autosol. They have all cleaned up pretty good. I might try to find a 1pc crank as this one doesn't seem to wanna clean up, and I found a matching set of NOS pedals on ebay for 8 quid so I bought them about 10 mins ago.
I'm gonna spend a while looking for pics of the Dyno's now as I'd like to get a proper set of stickers for it. Does anyone on the forums produce stickers to order ?
Cheers.....Adam
