Dynatech?

what's the story with 'dynatech' bikes? the only stuff I can find on google is pretty incomprehensible, bbut some people seem to love them, but I have also heard a lot of reports about them coming unglued etc. there's a dynatech 400 for sale near me for £100. worth it?
heres the link http://studentbikeshop.com/RACINGBIKES.html

I was looking at that on Ebay last night. There is also a 400 frame only on there for £85 making that bike a bargain. I was considering buying it myself but it's a bit far away. If I was you I'd have it before someone else does.

The logic of dyna tech was to glue the tubes into the lugs rather than braze as someof the tensile strength is lost when a tube is heated hence being glued means no heat thus full strength/ stiffness of the tubes retained.

thanks. it's for sale where i live too, so nice n easy. just have to get some money now :p

I've got a dyna-tech, as does Salmonchild. He's been riding his fixed (including for polo) for ages, and hasn't failed on him yet. Which gives me hope (I've only had mine a few months, and haven't rid it all that much).

getting straight in there :p

i just picked up a Dynatech frame which looks to be near enough brand-new condition.
excited about my first build, but terrified by the prospect of hairline cracks and massive bonded lug FAIL.

google is throwing up a mixture of rave reviews and STAY AWAYS.......
here's hoping it doesn't snap in half on me :/

Don't worry, it won't snap in half.

If it fails, it'll come apart at one of the ends. :P

i was saying that for dramatic action
although coming apart at the ends would be pretty dramatic :P

anyhoo.

It'll be fiiinne. :)

Most lugged frames are held together by brazing, which is essentially glue.

well i've got it in writing now....;)

just get a big drill and some large bolts and hey presto lugs for life they'll never come undone
