Title: 30 something newbie returning to BMXing!
Post by: Pencil Tip on October 13, 2013, 07:30 PM

Hi all,

I've just bought myself a rather tidy GT Dyno Compe. I haven't owned a BMX for nearly 25 years!  :)

I'm no stranger to two wheels! I also own a 1997 ball burnished GT LTS1 mountain bike and a 1999 Pinarello Surprise road bike.

Here is a photo of my GT Dyno........

I have some plans to replace some parts, that saddle has to go! Wanna give the bike a dash of colour. I plan to change the pedals and grips to red colour.

Does anyone know what year my bike would have been from?

Cheers,

Dan  :)

With regard to trying to put a year date to my Dyno, I have a picture of the serial. Can anybody decode it?

Thanks

From the serial I'd say that's a 2019 model from the future ... someones taken the hover engines off and put wheels on to make it look old school so it worth more  8)

... welcome to Arkham Asylum by the way  :D
