Any Dyno owners here?

I have an orange red Dyno Deuce built by GT. They are starting to get harder to find these days so I'm glad I got mine when I did. I love the looks of Dyno beach cruisers. They had a way of looking custom in a cool way while being a stock bike. The quality of GT Dynos surpasses most crusiers made these days which are now mostly cheap department store bikes made with dirt cheap components & weak aluminum frames.

Here's a list of the ones I know were made:

1 GT Dyno Deuce
2 GT Dyno Moon Eyes
3 GT Dyno Taboo Tiki
4 GT Dyno Glide
5 GT Dyno Roadster


So, Anyone here have any of the bikes I listed above? Would love to see yours. Its a real shame they are no longer made. Thay all had a retro hotrod bike charm to their design.

I still have my black Deuce and my wifes Moon Eyes. I bought them new in 1999. they are still in brand new condition, we seldom ride them, but I still think they are very cool bikes. I also acquired the calendar with the GT Dyno bikes and young ladies that was printed in 2000. I don't have any pictures of the bikes at this time because they are in long term storage.

Hi,

Yes I have one; a Dyno Deuce I bought around 2000.
I modified it to be more RatRod and used it for around 5 years, mostly as beach transportation. I also took it to Burning Man where a bike is a very handy thing to have.

The thing I don't like about it is it's heavy. I also feel that the frame it a bit too small for me. I'm actually looking to sell it to help pay for another bike I got recently. As much as I enjoyed it, I can't afford a personal museum and don't really have the space for a bunch of bikes.
Here is a picture:



I also talk about it in my Introduction post.

Do you have any pix of your bike?

Sorry no pics yet. Had some trouble accessing my photobucket. I really hate this site for not having direct photo uploading from the computer. The one I have is all pretty much original though, paint job is orange red with the flames. Only missing the skull end on the handle bar grips for the right side so I might swap them out for replacements I found that are identical to the originals. It even still has the origonal skull valve caps & tires. Your right though, It is a pretty heavy bike. Think it weighs just shy of 40lbs. That's about 10lbs heavier than my 35cc motorized mountain bike.

Really wish they still made those Dyno Fireball tires for both the front & back. But if I ever needed new tires I'd have to settle for Kenda flames which are pretty close to Dyno Fireballs. I see the original Fireball tires go for $120 on ebay sometimes.
