Someone pointed it out and I dismissed it but now that I look at it, i think hes right. What yall think?





its kind of hard to tell because of the backwards dropout

They sure do, right around the crown.

They sure do to me!
Still love those dyno mags.

I'll be listing a set of pro class wheels on ebay for charity tomorrow btw.
Check ebay seller 'bikesfortheworld'. race_inc, you might be interested in the Race Inc. bars I posted today under the same seller name.

Absolutely look bent. Maybe they can be straightened as long as you don't plan to use it for a rider.

At the crown? My god look at the weird bend at the bottom! And the dropouts are on backwards as well.

lol if you hadnt pointed it out, I probably wouldnt have ever known they were bent. They seriously dont appear as bent as the pictures show. or maybe I just arent as familiar with these bikes like you freestyle guys are lol (thats probably the case) But seriously, i think the factoryl bend and the dropouts take your attention away from the bend. Its an optical illusion!

Swap them OGKs for those pro class? Ive been riding them on my Nora Cup GT the last few days. They work perfectly

Now that I know the forks are bent, Im not even going to mess with this frame now. Someone spray bombed it and I think I could have salvaged a survivor even with that but then someone else took a grinder to the downtube removing the paint and most of the decal. I took it to a car wash today and got alot of the spray paint off to show a nice original paint and decals but the grind spot ruins that. Couple that with bent forks and its asking a little too much for me to mess with. I wasnt much of a freestyle guy to have a whole lot of interest in it anyway.

I did see a NOS decal set for it on ebay the other day...dude was asking 85 bucks and half of em were repops. wowsers

Bent

Heh, looks like one of my old bikes...


Totally bent dtour. The forks are trashed, and the stem looks bent too, and the seatpost... and if all that is bent, the bars probably are too. And I bet I could find a few cracks in the frame.

Looks like the victim of a pre pubescent ghost ride session.

Older brother's bike who went away to college and a bunch of snot nosed 12 year olds who would rather be playing Playstation got hold of it.

those mags are rare.

prototype

ghost ridden into a wall!

Those damn ghosts!!
Ruined a perfectly good Dyno..

the forks are definitely bent in. but dont let that discourage you! they can be bent back very easily

I was thinking about trying to bend them back. Im getting an old mongoose powdered almost the same color of red and I was thinking about getting it done along with it. I stripped the spray paint off the bars pretty easy so it wont be hard getting it off the other parts. I find me another drainpipe and have em all powdered and she'll be good to go. Its a 22 year old all stock bike. Id hate to see it go to waste.

any suggestions on bending them back?

yours look to be bent a little bit, its hard to tell with dyno forks

Suggestions for bending them back.. here's my method. It looks rough but it works. Just remember, be very careful. Huge rock, wood blocks and wedges and an iron bar for leverage.

better not do any tricks, once they are bent back they will be even weaker than they are in their bent state.

I wouldn't use bent back forks for jumping etc. either but for flatland and plain cruising/light riding they're usually ok. Haven't broke any yet. It also depends how badly they were bent to begin with. Using common sense is also ok.

Yeah, I'd say so.
