Frames for sale with the chain still attached, all balled up and scratching the chainstays.  I mean, chain breakers aren't that expensive.  Anyone who works on bikes should have one...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Can I break it, then fix it?

That's why I keep my chain nice and loose

I'm thinking my bikes just hate me... I got that flat in April, didn't ride a bike til last week. That Pro Thunder I had at the BBQ, I could feel the pedals bending under my feet as I rode it over to the judging area... Then today, my Swobo rips up my arm, my leg, both hands, my face, scratched and bent my glasses broke a tooth AND I have to shell out for a new chain. Okay, technically the concrete I landed on did most of the damage, but I'm definitely sick of seeing that bike for today. I've been sitting in my office, watching it mock me. Oh yeah, did I mention I had to walk into my office building all busted and bloody and tell my boss to go handle the wiring contractors we were expecting while I cleaned myself off? That all happened too. Stupid bicycles and their chains. Stupid stupid stupid chains!

Man these modern bikes have no personality...they've become like NASCAR, same sh!t across the board just different colors and decals.

No,Not The Same SH**, Way Different And Way Better ! Example, You Couldn't Give Me A Peregrine Super Pro 48 In Chrome ( Those 48's Are Just Stupid and Heavy And Are For Show ) But I'll Take A New School Chrome 36h Odyssey Hazard Lite Any Day Of The Week And Slap That 48 ! Hell Here's The Sad Part A Black Stock Cheap Black Sheep 36's Is Way Stronger Than Any Chrome 48, Proven Fact ! )  Lay Backs, Of Course Those Old Junks Are 18 to 20" TT ! Run A New School 21 Plus Longer TT Don't Need A Lay Back ! So It Isn't The Same SH** As You Say Get On A New School, Ride It For A Week And Act Like A Kid On It, And You'll Never Leave " THE DARK SIDE " !   Here This Is For You ! Enjoy !

Oh wait!  thread is getting better

each old and new school has it's own pro's and con's.  everyone rides differently and for different reasons, I love 87-88 pfts and i also think aaron ross sunday fundays are the tight and wish i had a grape soda or an orange crush..  closed mindedness gets you nowhere.

Ahhhhhhhh my eyes!  That is one bright bike...in a bad way.

Seriously new 36s are stronger than 48s?   (I am being serious)

Look.. it's like Toyota and Lexus.   Yea and a new Toyota is good, but a new Lexus is great.   Like it or not, it's kinda funny, but same holds true today as it did back then.  The money and good parts are still in the pft's and pro performers.  Star levers, even the rx-3s that I now like I would of never put on my bike in 87 because it would of been like putting honda rims on my acura... see what i'm saying?  Now if you take into consideration a pro compe/ pro compe team but most around me got a pft or pp.  Even the performer with mags, couldn't catch me dead riding.. vertigo... detours.. they were the cheap bikes.  I like them now for their LOOKS but in 87 trust me you did not want a dyno detour over a pft and seems same holds true today although both are still cool to own

Really depends where you grew up.  Around here GT's were way overpriced, while you could get a Dyno with roughly the same parts for much less.  Everyone had dynos, the only kids that had GT's around here were the rich kids..... You know the kind that cry when they scrape their knee or get everything they want by bitching and moaning to their parents.

lol.. yea ok.  So a 14-15 year old gives a care how over priced something is????   how about I never bitched and moaned but I did get only a's and b's in school and never gave my mother a single problem ever.  Regardless your saying the same thing.. the dyno was the poor man's/kids gt. 

Yes we do care how much it cost, some of us didn't have mommy and daddy that bought us bikes   I personally mowed lawns and raked leaves around the neighborhood all summer to buy my own bike as my parents only gave me enough to buy a cheap Walmart bike that worked from point A to point B because in their eyes it has the same function as a PFT or PC, 2 wheels, brakes and cranks.  Some of us weren't spoiled and by no means were we poor, so before you make an ignorant thoughtless comment think first. 
Dynos weren't a poor mans GT (although I'm sure many people would/will argue that) just as a Chevy isn't a poor mans GMC.  Same parent company, parts, ideas etc.... But they both have their own style and differences enough so that they are distinctly different to the consumer.  Sure Dyno didn't have as many flagship models as GT, sure anything below a detour was a bit of a battle tank and had cheaper end parts, sure they weren't as hyped as a GT but they weren't junk and you could only get them at the LBS and for comparability you got more bang for your buck, but thats if cost matters to you, silly people that think about cost when buying something

I had a dyno pro compe team that I worked all summer and saved for, ordered it from Trend and at the time I think it was the same price? as the team model gt freestyle bike.  I was 15 years old and it was a 88 model.

Just the dyno had better geo for flat, back wheel tricks were massive, all scuffing and rolling back wheel tricks, and the dyno was the bike then.

Next I got a PFT f&f and swapped all the parts over, was a good bike too, maybe felt just a bit short.

Both good bikes, I didn't see one brand as better than the other, never thought it was meant to be, just different style bikes.  Both team model dyno and gt were good and then they both had cheap low end models.
