    Im still a little surprised that you welded all over the dropouts and didn't weld in horizontal dropouts to deal with your chain tension issue!

    Because of this exact build I bought a beat to shit GT Tempest and some salt 7” rise BMX bars. Probably the most fun bike I’ve ever built and ridden.

    I luv my GT Peace… still smokin’. It’s my go too bike to jump on for urban (flat) rides, she is all black with cool silver decals. I achieved a similar riding (uptight’ish stance) by installing some head tube spacers raising the bars by about two inches. Something about chrome moly frames too!

    • @Stllno
      @Stllno ปีที่แล้ว

      I also added a nice soft Telluride saddle and she is comfort on wheels!

    I love GT's but that looked like a very amazing Canadian hand built steel GURU frame. I would cut off my left finger for that GURU frame.

  • @fangxx456
    @fangxx456 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You need one of those hand lever dropper posts so you can drop the seat nice and easy and keep the cockpit clean.

  • @Bi6M4C

    Just watched for the 2nd time through bc I'm trying to get my wife's 90s MTB to fit her and was starting to try my cruiser BMX bars. Hers doesn't have horizontal drop outs so I'm thinking 1x11. This is brilliantly captured.

  • @michaelfulmer5328

    I have just acquired a 25 year old GT Tequesta, 16" frame and building it up as a MTBMX, but keeping the gears as I live in a hilly area of the UK. It will be a work in progress as and when I have money to fully customise it. But I can at least make it rideable and fun! Great job!

  • @marcusathome
    @marcusathome 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @racingfan2014

    Nice build. Every time I had a bmx frame welded to try and save it - it broke behind the welds. The welder actually told me that before he welded it (brazing, TIG etc) I really liked the frame that ended up in the trash..sigh..:(

  • @derekmosher4561
    @derekmosher4561 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love it. Your videos popped up in my feed and they don't disappoint. I'm from a BMX background and this made me laugh so hard. I have a Kona Unit that I've done the same thing. Threw on smaller 27.5 wheels, a nice steel fork, and a Profile Elite disc hub (always wanted one!) and now I have a Big BMX. It's certainly one of the most fun and versatile bikes, but I currently live in a city, so different perspective.

    Next time just use some dry ice to unstick those posts. Drop it in through the bottom bracket, clamp the seatpost in a vice and turn the whole frame.

  • @janegj4803
    @janegj4803 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This might be the best looking bike after the rockhopper ofc but is it just me or will it look a lot better with a new paint job without any graphics, a plain color or some kind of vintage-y marble effect

    Hello and great video. I wanted to know in terms of the front fork. Is that a regular BMX front fork because in my mind we would need a longer BMX style front fork for the larger wheel. I’m a 6 foot two guy 280 pounds, so I want to build a bike like this. I just can’t find anyone to specifically say what is needed by way of the front fork. Thank you in advance if you do get to see his comment and reply
