They don't seem to get much love in here, is it the drainpipe posts putting people off $:-\$

What do you mean by 'not much love'? that not many people have them or people slate them? there's been quite a few people on here that's done some cracking Dyno's in the past

I mean you don't see that many Rob, given the volumes produced and the number of them over on the museum

Dyno's are more of an American thing, Clint. They are also more geared towards flatland and when they were being released, Haro and GT Pro Performers were already hugely established.

I do like a Dyno bashguard though

I like the frame & as said they rode pretty good for flat, the forks are nasty though

Always liked those forks

Yours was the only one I could remember to hand Dan, hence the question. Still looks ace

I've got one, great wee bike, bought it as a cheap rider, will stick a pic or two up when I sort the brakes out.

I like them

, but have never owned, or even had a go of a Dyno.

The one above with the curved profile forks look pretty cool I would deffo build one if I could .
There were a lot of later ones which were quite cheap/generic which don't get much love I suppose.....

I think a dyno is a hard bike to build, get one in factory spec and they look stunning, try to do your own thing and they look wänk, I can only think of 2, one of which is dans, that weren't spec but still looked great

Hmoon27 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 27, 2015, 06:53 AM »

Dave raciness is stunning

I'm doing one at the moment although its not the freestyle frame, I still don't know what frame it is other than it is certainly a Dyno as denoted by the D at the back of the seat tube. I'm just saving up to have it powder coated. It does have a coaster brake bracket on it which seems odd for a bike that looks like it should be for racing and not freestyle

Mine got more love here than on ebay that's for sure...

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2015, 10:41 AM »

I forgot, I'd built this one for a mate last year.

tbf though you like everything (or at least you're too polite to say when you don't)

Dave Racine's is a beaut as mentioned above - think they may have suffered from the brand being cheapened a bit when all the shit Dynos came out later.
