Here are the 2 Dyno's I picked up yesterday. They are around 8 feet long each.

First is the black one. Its pretty rough. Lots of scuffs, some rust, bars are pitted. Its all original though. I need to pull it all apart, detail and regrease it but I was able to ride it around the driveway.

The purple one is the nice one. Its been sitting for a year or two. Lots of aftermarket parts on this one. Butterfly pedals, 144 spoke front wheel, skull stamped seat and grips, and apes. I have the original front rim, pedals and grips. The ugly stem will be the first thing to go, I got another stem with the bike that I will be swapping out.

I also got 2 brand new bullet fender lights and a bullet tail light. All 4 original grips, some new pegs, skull and snake valve covers and some other odds and ends.

Anyone know if there is a way to find out what year they were made?

Thanks, I'm trying to decide what to do to the black one. I kind of want to put a motor on it

First thing to do is peel off that "MADE IN TAIWAN" sticker... :roll:
 
Heres the black one all fixed up.

Shorter crank, 60's Ross sprocket (one of my favorites) shorter seat post so I could slam it down, Jerald slicks front and rear, and lowered the rear fender on the tire a little bit more

Couldnt get the left pedal off. Long story short both pedals ended up loosening towards the front of the bike. Someone must have installed the pedals backwards at one point. The crank was trashed but the pedals were perfect still. The sprocket was so loose it was about to fall off and the bearings were dry. Good thing I took it apart

Cleaned the chrome and waxed the paint. Also got some fresh grease. Bike rides 100% better, feels so solid now.

It fits me perfect now.

Never been a newer bike guy, but these are an exception. Nice finds.

Here's a recent shot of mine waiting for my pinstriper. And believe it or not, she rides nice.
