Hello, I am looking st a DG a guy has here for sale . How can i tell what year it is? model?

I see a euro bottom bracket and some wierd looking drop outs. Its NOT a shock bike.

Any help?

go to bmx museum.com and compare

DG1 cromoly frame. Serial may tell you. Square brake bridge will tell as well.

I seen a similar one end on ebay , so am going to pick it up in the morning and will have more info soon.


Thanks,Ed

little up date:

serial number on bottom bracket reads: 1 9 46

It has a 18 inch top tube.

I will try to get some photos soon

What shape is the brake bridge?

can anyone tell me the exact year of this one? And which are the correct decals for it? it's giong to have black and gold accessories, what color should the decals be.

Thanks for your help.

They made that frame from about 1970 till the end (1981?). I prefer earlier decals. Black ink on gold prism HT decals, and all die cut vinyl for the remainder. DG in Gusset, Small D above G on seat post and "DG Racer" on lower rear triangle. Forks get one leg "DG Racer", one D above G.

Mine looks close to this one same looking drop outs wierd bars they are the V bars but bent differently.Also some wierd grips that i never seen before they have these like anodized metal in the middle of the ribs? also shimano cassette hubs and a shimmano road bike looking head set. From what i have seen this bike looks stock stuff. The only thing looks like it has been changed is the seat and pole.

I've got a thing for DG's
Mainly because of my MX background and they made some of the coolest stuff for Yamaha's bitd

thanks meatpie,

when you're next in melbourne, give me a yell and you can have a ride.( it'll be done in a few weeks)

my ff (above) just arrived from the States, when I opened the box I found that what I thought was yellow powdercoat was infact yellow with green glitter. I still love it here it is built up. sorry about the lighting.

Here's a pic of my NOS DG frameset... never built...



DG Rules!

Didn't the older ones have a straight top part of the D in the gusset? I thought that D came out in 79. Mine is a 77, and it has the "D" on the gusset where the top part of the D goes straight across, it doesn't curve down at the top.

Check the "D" on the gusset in this ad from Dec 77 BMXA.

Has any one used art 21 decals there on evil bay?

The SE ones he sells worked for me hows the DG ones? ANY FEEDBACK ?

Make sure you check the measurements. I have a black head tube one that is too big. The blue and gold ones are fine as are the DGs.
