First off I'd like to say I'm new to this site. When I was a kid in the late 80's I loved freestyle riding, although I was never much good at it. ~20yrs later I'm home at my parents house and decided to dig my old bike out of the attic. She's really dusty and looking worse than I've ever seen her. Anyone know what year this bike is from?

we can fix her

I was thinking I'd pull it out and sell it to someone who'd appreciate it and fix it up, but after seeing it for the first time in over a decade I can't take my eyes off of it. I'm thinking this might be a fun project. Maybe I'll ship her out to VA and work on the restoration(in MN right now). It's such a sharp looking bike. The details are so cool.

'89 maybe?

That's what I'd guess too based on photos I've compared it to.

I've seen a couple different decal sets on 89 Dynos. the 1990s didn't have the bent forks so 89 seems right.

Cool bike, looks like it could clean up pretty easy. It wants to go for a ride!

My guess would be 89 as well. I think that's the last year for the trailing dropout fork.
Where abouts in Arlington do you live?

I just wiped it down and noticed a sticker that says 89.... guessing that's the year it was built. I'll post a few more pics soon.
I live in the Courthouse area.....thinking about shipping it out there. You close to there?

I live in Burke (fairfax county) and work in Alexandria.

A few more pics after quickly wiping down the frame....

Build date info maybe

Love that whitey white seat and those red Dyno handlebars and even the 89 Gt stem and white gyro cables....so just knock it entirely apart and build it right back up and ride ride ride it !

Yep all it needs is a little elbow grease.

Thanks for the comments. I'll have to break it down, clean/lube it and build it back up. Nothing on the bike has ever been replaced. The tires are basically shot. The crank could use some work and the brakes are a mess. I'm not sure what caused the paint to flake off the spocket. Is ebay the best place to locate replacement parts?
After looking around this site I'm disappointed to see that many people don't have a very good opinion of the Detour. I suppose it is a pretty heavy bike.

The Detour is a decent bike, but it is Trimoly and made in Taiwan. It was Dyno's mid level model. Generally speaking the trimoly/overseas builds are less sought after. The high end Pro Compe was made in the US and was all chromoly.

My rider from back in the day was an late '89 Dyno Detour. After all those years of abuse, the frame and forks are still in great shape. Get back into it! I got back into it as a way to stay in shape.

I love my D-Tour, I built it 2 summers ago, it's what got me back into all of this.

Awesome survivor you have there! I'd definitely hang on to that if I were you.

I definitely agree it's and 89.

Very nice! It won't take very much at all to get it looking like new again. Tires won't be hard or expensive to replace (unless u want GT tires) The mags should clean up nicely. I've used a couple different methods for getting them white again. The quickest way is to take out the bearings and axles and then spray some auto wheel cleaner on them and then hose them off. It really works well. Or u can also soak them in bleach and scrub them with a green scrubbie or scrub brush. But those are just a couple of ways that worked for me. I'm sure others will tell u their secrets too. Good luck! Can't wait to see it finished.

Wow,a blast from the past,i had this bike in 89 same everything. I miss it.
