30 something newbie returning to BMXing!
« 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)
