BMX guys help please.

[Volumiza]

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?

[RC Chick]

well Im certianly now bike expert but I had one similar to that. I was told it was a GT Dyno. Just my opnion but I am sure the MXRs know what it is. Good luck, it looks like a sweet bike

[MelvinsArmy]

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.

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.

oh, and thanks for that link melvinsarmy, i can see i'll be scanning that site a little more

could it be a Torker?

i've been doing some digging with the seller and on the web and it is indeed a gt dyno. me and my wife will match now 'cos i've just bought a gt performer

i picked my wifes bike up today, it has indeed got 'D' embossed into the frame and also 'Dyno' too. the bike is MINT and i'm very jealous .

only thing missing is the 3 piece crank and that looks like my old dyno LOL!

It's a Dyno Detour.

i think theres a few on here that do, i'm not collecting them as such, i just enjoy restoring things and i used to be really into bmxing, skateboarding and the like.
