Yeah they've got the look that's for sure, keep ya eye out for pt2 of the Dyno next sunday too bro, looks FRESH now, with some old school additions! - & top secret.. Ive got a 90s mongoose bmx scooter coming up, its battered!
You are so lucky to find this beauty jist lying around without no one to love and take care of it thats my dream bike a bmx i dont have 1 yet but ill still keep on dreami dreaming such beauty
Oh man I had one of these I loved it spent most of my time at the bike track on it two wish I could go back two it 👍👍👍 I remember I got the 3 spoke mag wheels from America they took over 3 months two come but was worth the weight they looked so nice when I finally got them🤘🤘🤘
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.
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 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.
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.
@@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.
Nice find, but its not a "Pro comp" as the last year of production was 1990. That bike is the revised entry level Comp model from 91 onwards, the Pro Comp was replaced with the Slammer and team slammer in 1991!
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.
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 🙂
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
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
@@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 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.
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.
No issues with assembly for me czcams.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".
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.
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.
I still have that one. A Gift from my father after graduation in high school 1998. Until today I use for 22 yrs
Out onto a tray nice a little Steve love it

Had one with a black shiny frame and everything else chromed. Used to love riding it around my neighborhood
Great vidio got two dyno,s need couple of part for one of them.
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
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.

Awesome Restoration in video
Let's get this out on a tray... nice.
That thing needed a vinger bath first then steel wool #0000 with mothers as not to scratch the chrome
Nice shout to mreinfo... Nice!
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'm trying to restore of my gt dyno '92 ! it was very useful ! thanks.
Nice Steve1989 Quote😂.
This Frame got a nice Chromium undertone . good job man 👍🏼✌🏻
Nice :)
That turned out mint bro!
No way those pedals came off that easy. You got lucky there
True story right there!

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
i had my first dyno in 1993
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
Handy dandy!
I have one of those and it's fucking sick
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
I have the dyno air and the dyno duece cruiser
Anyone know how much these go for cuz I got one and wanna sell it but don’t wanna scam myself
I literally have a dyno vfr as my bmx bike and it was my dads
Keep it forever pass it down
Hey i got an white zinc gravity bmx is good for something ?

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.

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.
Do you now WD40?
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.
