Hey.....thought I'd share this build. I always liked this bike as a kid....in this color too.

Thanks to Fast Eddie for the GT cranks and Chris Lemma for the seat, seat post, Pitbuls, and the forks! Thanks to Lou for the Dyno RED!

I had two sets of the arms for the longest time.......but no spindles, so I sold them. I just could not find any spindles.........and they really don't come available even as complete sets on ebay.

These are about 1 year shy of era correct though, I like them. Go good with the GT Prower Series neck too.

Awesome build. I remember those bikes very well. Had the Pro Compe from that year. Where did you get the decal set?

I met a kid in my neighborhood who got a Dyno for the junk heap and it was HEAVY. Now I mostly think Dyno's are heavy JUNK unless they have good bunnyhopping geometry.

Do your bike jump well? It looks like a tank!

Actually, it is typical weight...not bad at all. There are only a few models of upper end Dynos that are full chromoly. The local kid most likely had a lower end Dyno.

If anyone is considering getting the Odyssey Frequency G tires - they are great. I have the 20X1.85's and they are perfect on there. They come in 20x1.75 too.

Hear that everyone? Your bike's a turd unless it has "good bunnyhopping geometry".

Just put throw some Primo Powerbite cranks on that bike.
They look exactly the same and are way cheaper.

Looks good though.

I will never understand why manufacturers all decided that 990's were no longer needed after 1990.
Terrible decision.
