i have an old dyno pro compe frame. The dyno stamp on the back of the seatpost crossbar is only on the top. It is closed in the back. I have an 88 detour that was open in the back and stamps on top and bottom.
This has to be a pro compe because it has the 990 rear brakes. I cant find a serial number anywhere on it. It has been paint a few times but i think the original color was either white or deep blue.
Does anyone have any pics of a pro compe they could post. I cant remember how to tell dynos apart from year to year but i know it has something to do with that stamping on the back and the way that brace is laid out.

The 1st gen D-30 frames (85, very early 86) only had a single plate behind the seat tube stamped on the top.
They had a problem cracking in that area so a second plate was added on later 86 and later frames but no plate joined them together in the back. I assume that's what you mean by open in the back. I never saw a pro compe bitd so I can't comment on that.

Ya the 2 plates are joined. It isnt 2 seperate plates like on my detour.....but one curled under or joined to close off the back of the 2 plates. The front of the plates is open
No stamp on the bottom plate.

thats pretty much the bike. I couldnt tell you what color scheme they ran back then. I wish i could find it. I know they had a chrome one just like this. This one was never chrome though. Definatly paint but i cant tell the original color.
Christ i need a few sets of those dyno forks with that bend in them. I cant seem to find them anywhere.
The hardest problem on this resto is going to be to find the frame sticker set or even just the down tube one. I have found a compe one or two.....just not the pro compe. This was a very high end bike bitd so i dont imagine they sold too many and wouldnt have created alot of frame sticker sets for them.
