YEA! Iknow what that is..its pure GOLD!!! Awesome allround!!!
Great job so far on the bike that chrome came up really good. I see your bmx frame has a thor spot though lol. All the best - Jim
I recently picked up a 1997 GT compe all original. Even the tires still say GT on them. It’s in very nice condition too.
My 2000 gt preformer BMX has air bags on not original ones but they are in very good condition think it's a
Had one with a black shiny frame and everything else chromed. Used to love riding it around my neighborhood
😂this MRE Steve Phrase had me dying.
“Nice”💀💀
great video grabbing mine today! cant wait to shred it
That turned out mint bro!
Wish I still had my early 90s GT Vertigo st Red, with white mags tires pegs forks grips brakes cables and... GT white seat also.
i'm trying to restore of my gt dyno '92 ! it was very useful ! thanks.
Ahh this is gorgeous man . I grew up in the early 2000s . If you had one of those 3 spoke wheels . One kid had a blue blue frame with white 3 spoke wheels was the sheeeet !
Cheers, it was 5 spoke skyways in my day, if they cracked (which they always did) the word on the street was to put em in the freezer & they would be magically repaired over night.. this does not work... haha - nice one, Jozzilion.
I like your Steve impression. Nice! Nice restoration.
Lets get this out onto a tray - nice... haha epic, nice one.
Jozzilion I’m a big fan of steve1989. It was awesome to hear you reference him. Keep up the good restorations. I just got done building a custom BMX beach cruiser. Turned out pretty good.
Great vidio got two dyno,s need couple of part for one of them.
Awesome Restoration in video
Nice just got mine done..love it
I had a fueler. Love my GT
I found an all original Dyno comp. Needed very little work, found it a few years ago bought it off a guy riding around. Still have it sitting in the basement ready to go. It's definitely a nice little cruiser for me as I usually ride XC bikes now.
Would you sell the dyno ?
@@johndeer7142 , I bought it and cleaned it up because I could tell the owner didn't know what he had lol. He was in his late 30s using it as a daily get around bike. I asked him if he would sell it too, so I drove to the bank and gave him a ride to his girlfriend's lol.
I'm not sure if I'd sell it, other than alot of cleaning I had to replace the Gyro cables and front brake leaver that was missing. It has the GT style "piston" stem and a 3 spoke (very heavy) set of alloy rims, original seat and the whole bike is original except that one brake leaver. It's all chrome, some of the original stickers are still on it as well. Even the grips lol. Honestly not sure if I'd sell, my son and I just keep it as a wall hanger at this point.
Charles B I understand, my brother traded something for a all original dyno Conor, the. He later sold it for $200 because he didn’t care.. sad, he also sold his mongoose fs1 for like $50
@@johndeer7142 , I bought it because you don't see these bikes anymore either, all m8ne were stolen when I was younger and I built some really nice ones. Sort of preserving history lol. My son was amazed at the differences between the new bmx and the old. The old one's still make great cruiser bikes, I'm 5'11" and going on 46 years and still love these old bikes. I'd love to get my hands on an old Haro freestyle Master, GT pro performer and a PK ripper lol
Charles B wouldn’t we all haha, and yeah, I was born in the new era, and I got to say, the bikes these days are so boring !! Freestyle bike are where it’s at !!!!! Got to love the 80s man
I don't think anyone else in the world would get the let's get this out onto a trade joke
Nice shout to mreinfo... Nice!
Good job in keeping the older bmx alive. Would love a dyno to restore.
Hey thanks, Ive got a chrome 80s Haro to do this year too, might go mag wheels, lean back seat etc etc on this one, dont know when I'll be doing it but I will video it.
@@jozzilion that sounds great. Look forward to it. I have about 14 frames to build up
@@whitewellybmxrestorations haha sounds about right, projects all over :)
Let's get this out on a tray... nice.
Nice Steve1989 Quote😂.
This Frame got a nice Chromium undertone . good job man 👍🏼✌🏻
Nice :)

That thing needed a vinger bath first then steel wool #0000 with mothers as not to scratch the chrome
I wish I still had mine 😔
No way those pedals came off that easy. You got lucky there
True story right there!
i would try using sos pad it the wool is finer and you can get it in tighter spots
That steel wool seems way too coarse. Use aluminum foil, vinegar bath, or very fine steel wool to avoid scratching up the chrome.
Its not scratched
i had my first dyno in 1993
Im surprised the pedals came off so easily i always have a hard time getting pedals off
I hear you on that one - I'm guessing a previous owner greased em up before fitting
Spray it with some pb blaster and let it soak for a day or two
Hey bud..first time watching your vid..and the funny thing is..i found a 1998 dyno gt vfr in the trash..complete bike..only problem im having is the pedal is frozen on..any ideas on how to get it off..
Heat the crank arm with a blow torch.. or cooker then have another go, some gentle 'persuasion' with a hammer around the end of the crank arm before hand will also loosen the rust, if all else fails drill through the back of the pedal until you reach the threads & run a tap through it, hope this helps.
Handy dandy!
Great job!! I have a similar frame where the seatpost has those arches. They are badly rusted just like yours. What did u use with the toothbrush? It looks thicker then steel wool? Thanks
Nice, just steel wool & chrome cleaner Keith.. & a lot of elbow grease :)
The steel wool doesn't leave scratches?
@@CenTexCollector Not enough to worry a bmx, I used heavy wire wool because it was in such a state but could have used much finer like 00 etc. it would have left no marks what so ever but taken considerably longer.
Hey, I just picked up an 83 predator. The chrome has these like white spots all over. Any tips to get rid of them. Ive tried 0000 steel wool and water but got nothing.
Hi, is the frame aluminum? I ask because its not the chrome that really degrades but the material underneath it, mine had rust coming through it from the steel frame, sounds like yours could be polished alloy, maybe lacquered or painted, car wheels often have the same problem. Obviously difficult to say without seeing it.
@@jozzilion 4130 Chromoly
@@nathanmalinowski6085 It could have been lacquered & water has penetrated the layer of lacquer, leaving the white spots, if its has not I would try some courser wire wool & a decent chrome cleaner.
@@jozzilion Alright thx. Ill try that in a little bit
Hi, is the 1997 DYNO blast a one year only style model? It has Air and Compe style frame and 100% chromoly vs earlier blast has "standard frame and from 1998 Blast model name is gone and replaced by a HI-TEN framed "ZONE" model wich looks like the 1997 "Blast" but it isnt.
I have one of those and it's fucking sick
Hey i got an white zinc gravity bmx is good for something ?
Hey man I got my son a retro Dyno GT AIR, almost like yours! If I can’t find that specific cleaner, what would you recommend for a proper cleaning? Please and thank, Also appreciate the video.
Cheers, I reckon any chrome cleaner or buffing compound would do the trick, maybe even t-cut.
Jozzilion again thanks man! Your face, priceless, when the Wobbling back tire from the bearings I’m guessing.
Anyone know how much these go for cuz I got one and wanna sell it but don’t wanna scam myself
Do you mind listing the name or type of the product you're to put the chrome cleaner on? Thanks
On the Dyno's frame I used stainless steel wire wool, often known as a stainless scourer - same things You might use for the household pots & pans, can be picked up in the household cleaning products section in the supermarket. The alloy parts I used 00 steel wire wool, which is much finer, often used for cleaning blued steel, such as the barrel of a gun etc. If Your chrome only has mild spots of rust etc. 00 wire wool would work fine.
...& I just realized You haven't yet seen pt 2 of this because I'm uploading it as I write, so the 00 for the alloy will make no sense - pt2 coming up in the next half hour my friend.
m8 a easy way to remove the grips,,, use the break lever pull off the break lever and it will pull off the grips EASY try it...yr welcome
Loved my mag wheels you could bend them
I literally have a dyno vfr as my bmx bike and it was my dads
Keep it forever pass it down
I have the dyno air and the dyno duece cruiser
my bike is the same as in this video but the iron below is bigger than above and I want to be a bmx expert is that legal
Touch & go on the legality Bro, you sure its the same...
@@jozzilion Only the iron below is slightly different
Whats the size of the rims, i am having a 16inch rims on it but can it fit the newer alienation rims?
20" rims are the most common size for most bmx, this Dyno has 20" - 16" would not fit the frame or forks
@@jozzilion yes, my bad. Out of touch for years lol.
Just steel wool the frame, looking geat. Somehow the chrome back then was better.
I just pulled those same mags off a bike I found on the road.
"found on the road" sounds like you stole someone's bike.
Goodjob👏👏👏👏
Looks like a dyno compe
No shit sherlock
I've still got my vertigo. Rusted so bad. Not sure it's worth the fix. Can't brig myself to throw it away.
If the rust is real bad but not structural have it bead blasted, then paint it again, be like brand new.
That's not a pro compe though it's probably a detour. The pro compe had the 990's mounts on the bottom of the chainstays.
No issues with assembly for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
Lol my friend gave me a 1994 gt Dyno vfr for free but he underestimated the value because it has almost all original parts now that I restored it I'm the one who has the last laugh
Guys never sell your old bikes they're gold and you can sell them for a huge price after restoration. That's what I did with my Raleigh aeroburner 35th anniversary 🙂
Do you now WD40?
Nooo le falto armarla paso a paso
Bro
Hello
Some dictation here to.clean up.frame
Guys were making repop decals until the bike companies started threatning legal action. Greedy idiots if you ask me, we're just trying to keep their products alive.
Shame those kind of wheels are hundreds of bucks a piece for 700c.
