1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team
1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team
Frame is original paint, everything else restored or NOS to help me recreate my childhood bike.
Life history, where do I start? After much color debate and searching for the holy grail paint job I actually ended up with a beautiful survivor frame set from a good member, LooseNut who felt my pain(t). This is what it was all about and I want to thank each and everyone that had some kind of input or help me with that hard to find part etc. I can honestly say that the build wouldn't of came out as nice had I just been part shopping and googling for things. I could not have done it without the bmxmuseum so thanks! Bikes can come and go but you will not catch this one leaving the collection, period. I waited for the best opportunity I could to take the photos at our Lakefront near New Orleans, LA. I brought the handlebars to the BMX Society 2012 Show in South El Monte, CA at the beginning of June and I had them signed by Martin Aparijo and Eddie Fiola, who hanging out with was definitely one of the best experiences ever, scratch one from the bucket list! I will be reserving a post and adding more thanks and photos from the Cali show, etc so do check back. Hope you enjoy the effort and thanks!

Re: 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team
Don't know if you can tell from how big my smile is sitting on Martins bike which he did let me ride, but hanging out with Martin & Eddie in Southern Cali was absolutely one thing I never dreamed I'd be doing in a million years. I am so glad I got a hair up my you know what to start building my childhood bike because this is where that love got me. Do not want to leave out that I also made a bunch of friends here on the site as well as t2jeff who lives out there in Cali and made me feel at home. Thanks Jeff!

Great build! I'm not dayglow crazy like most here but it's still sweet! I followed your threads and do think it was the best move to just get a OG one rather than a pepto one

lol thanks Ryan. You know the whole struggle kind of gives the bike character to me when I look at it, I actually don't think I would rather it any other way. Topping it off with Eddie & Martin on the bars sealed the deal, it will always be a great conversation piece as well def a museum build lol.

Re: 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team
Personally knowing the color of those bars and the great match to the frameset, it's a great example of the correct day glo pink and great pics to support your efforts! Had to come back and look at them again.......

Re: 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team
Thank you 
lifetime resident of Marrero. What better place in Louisiana to try and get the california vibe than our lakefront. I waited probably 3 weeks for a sunny enough day last year when it rained the whole summer. 
And I don't know how old you are but that broken up building is fitzgeralds. I'm about to turn 40 but I remember eating there a few times when I was young. But thanks man, it's my only bike that gets carried not rolled lol. I have other bikes to do whatever we want with.
this what its doing right now, hanging out with some siblings. i have a chrome 96 compe that i ride more because its been too muddy and wet out.
