This is my first freestyle bike ever! 1984 Dyno D-tour. This was one of the original hand built bikes before Riteway bought them out and fused Dyno with GT Bikes. I will NEVER sell this bike!
In the mid to late 80's BMX was declared dead. All the big corporations pulled out and the money stopped coming in. Lots of companies were trying different things and gimmicks to try and jump start the scene and sales. One of the "better" idea's was the "Bashguard". The ads were pretty cool for BMX back then. Imagine doing a feeble grind on your sprocket. This was also the period where street skateboarding was making it's way in, and grinds and slides were the rage. The Bashguard was literally one of the first attempts at gearing a BMX bike towards street riding. Hare had two bikes, the Master, and The Sport. Both had bash guards integrated into the frame. This was the GT version.
