Looks truly awesome in person.

Have you been to my apartment in Philly?
You might have it mistaken for a different GT.
smile
But thank you for the compliment.

The bike is actually complete with the correct pedals and all now. I need to update the pics badly.

whew ... thought you sold it!!! yikes big_smile big_smile

Yup, Darkman mistakened yours for the one from RI at BMX Spring Brake: (http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.p … 9&p=26)
Which by the way had SICK GT chrome rear frame standers! cool

Less some decals, different pedals and pegs, both are the same! big_smile
If it makes you feel better, I will gladly give it a new home. Don't hesitate!! lol

I spoke w/ the RI owner of the other GT (forgot his name) and we are both addicted to late 80s freestyle bikes. lol
He has a much more impressive collection than me (especially w/ his polishing skills).
I would've bought his chrome Q bars (like the one in your '89 GT picture at the top) but I bought a pretzel already. smile

Cheers.

My stash.  Ride on. smile

THEN.....
I rider-ized it with some non-vintage tires, a different set of GT Power Series cranks that already had the label worn off, and a used set of KKT Pedals.  I put my GT/Araya Race wheelset on here for now until I get the Superlaces tuned back up and trued.


Rides great - as it always did.
These pics were from a nice session about a month ago before all the leaves fell off the trees.

Re: 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team

I just found an OLD pic of this bike, taken in 1990.
I was in my Black and White Photography phase.


Who remembers "Fuct"?

Just look at the Thrashin' I put on those cranks....
I needed them for a reason. I rode every day and night back then.

When you keep bending 1-pc cranks, these were Well Worth the $125 they cost back in 1988.
Up until I started rebuilding and collecting BMX stuff in the early 2000's - these cranks were the last set of cranks I had ever bought. They went on all of my bikes.
I still swear by them today.

Rad... I just scored this thing yesterday.

I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy. smile
