You will never get anything for it if you sell it since you modified the frame (welded on 990 mounts) since most people that are looking to buy old school bmx stuff like clean mint frames. Also even if it were perfect Dyno's are not very collectable yet and may never be.

I'm pretty sure 87 D-Tours are trimoly. Which means the back end is mild steel. So value wise its not really high, I disagree with blue streak, the 990 mounts I think actually add value. Do you have the original forks? If so they are valuable, they are full chromoly and very rare. (most guys broke theirs) and they are identical to the pro compe team model forks. Which is a very valuable bike.

I sold my 88 pro compe team model FRAME only last year for $250...

I'd say if you have good feedback on ebay (critical for getting a decent price on bike stuff) and take good pictures... You could get about $75 to $100 for the forks if they are in good shape. Frame is probably worth about $50.

My first "real" flatland bike was an 87 d-tour. I wanted a compe II but the D-tour came out right as I was buying it.

I ended up wrapping it around a tree mid 360... Bent the mess out of it. But, luckily GT/Dyno had a great return policy, and they sent me a pro compe frame.

Hey FreeEnterprise, I started pulling those out again at the skate park. The kids LOVE 'em!!
They call them front wheel tobagans! :D

[FreeEnterprise]

Sweet, bar endo's rule!

I remember one time when I was a kid, I went to woodward and the guy that invented toboggans was the bmx instructor... He had a bunch of pics of himself doing that trick. I kept trying to get him to try and do a bunnyhop toboggan, but he thought that was impossible. I bet someone could do them though, and that would be a sweet trick.

Cool that it is still popular.

^Iasn Schwarts can do toboggan hops I think.
