BMX guys help please.
i know this isn't rctalk stuff but i know theres a couple of BMX'ers here (melvins army and dr robotnik step forward please). can anyone identify this bike? i cant leave my wife on ebay for one second. the guy who's selling it just restored it and he said he doesn't know himself. or can anyone tell me how i can find out?

Re: BMX guys help please.
Definitely a Dyno or else a bootleg Dyno. You can tell by the way the top tube bends down right before the seat post at the frame stand. Looks like it's in good shape. When you get it, there should be some "D" stamps in the frame and/or fork somewhere. I'm sure it's probably mid-school (I'm an old school guy) but we should be able to help you out trying to ID it better when you have it in hand.
http://www.bmxmuseum.com is a great place to check out bikes. They've got a lot of Dynos up there.

Re: BMX guys help please.
thanks for the help you two , it seems you're both right about it being a dyno. i've been saying to my wife that i'm going to start restoring a bmx for each of us but she steamrollered ahead and bought this 'on a whim' oh well, it means i can focus on mine now
thanks again.
thanks again.
