1999 GT Speed Series Cruiser 24

A potent mixture of polish, chrome and a touch of blue..



I started this build by sending the bars and forks out to be re-chromed. While I was at it I decided to chrome the GT Rhythm System Hubs. Then it was time to hand polish all of the aluminum parts to a mirror finish. It took a while but turned out better than I was expecting. I also added all new chrome plated bolts. It's taken a while finding and changing out parts to get it where I want it, I think I'm finally done with this one. Thanks for checking out my post!!!

Re: 1999 GT Speed Series Cruiser 24

Thanks Man! I was nervous about chroming the hubs especially when they were in good shape to begin with but I had to take that chance. This may be my last build so I wanted to go big.

The double wall rhythm hoops are tight! Wish I had some. If I did I would definitely chromed them. Your amtrac is sick!

Re: 1999 GT Speed Series Cruiser 24

That is one clean looking ss.
imo a 99 ss seat would set it off.
Really like those hubs in chrome.  Ive got a set laying around that might get chromed now after seeing yours. 
Very nice build.

Re: 1999 GT Speed Series Cruiser 24

Wow great job! Puts my pro series to shame in so many ways, however gives me a lot of ideas as well. Great decision on the hubs turned out awesome! Favorite for sure!https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.bmxmuseum.com/user-images/256242/d45bac03-bc74-420c-b79a-0c3b5fee782f5cd48cc99e.jpeg

Re: 1999 GT Speed Series Cruiser 24

Thanks hawhaw86!! I really appreciate it! The props my build has been getting has been totally unexpected. All your feedback is making me rethinking what I said about this build being my last. :)

Do you have pics of your pro series?

BTW, DUDE! I want that Quad!!!
