At first I was like "4min for the GT?!!!" And they I was like.... perfect... just perfect
four-twenty minutes
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!
One of your best vids. Putting in the work with voice-over definitely raises the production value. Keep it up man!
Doddy would love that. Somebody should tell him to look at it.
That thing looks sweet, good job on recognising that it was nearly right, not quite there, almost, now its goooood.
This is sort of like a modern day Klunker . Great job on making it so cool !
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.
Most under rated bike channel.
Nice rig! Vintage GT frames are the bomb! So pleasing to the eye...
LOVING the production in this latest vlog!
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!
I also added a nice soft Telluride saddle and she is comfort on wheels!
Yup this is it. New project bike. Its gonna happen. Thanks for the inspiration, love the thrasher bash builds too!
Awesome!
I have a converted GT Outpost too... as a cargo bike (bullitt style)! It was custom made by some guys in Toulouse, it's so unique, i love it
Please do this with your other bikes. Not everyone has watched the progress all the way through like I have. Plus it's fun and bite size
Sick build
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.
You need one of those hand lever dropper posts so you can drop the seat nice and easy and keep the cockpit clean.
just bought my first frame on ebay, going to be my first bike build
thx for the motivation
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.
I did something similar to my 82 Norco custom cruiser. Badass build bro. I dig it
You've gone and made me want a set of those BMX style bars for one of my old mountain bikes now.
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!
That thing is cool! I'm not a BMXer but now tempted to build something similar.
Excellent ride 👍 BMX all the bike you say, have at it Sailor… BMX bars on everything is the future…
Yes, this is exactly what is need. big boy Bmx city cruiser😇👍👍.
U should totally search for another frame and do it again👌
I really dig the frantic recap style you did for this video!
I love what all these crazy kids are doing with them old bike parts.
wow, the fact that i was just thinking of doing this to my mtb and i see this video… you read my mind!!!
I love this build! It made me turn my brother In Laws Schwinn Frontier into a BMX inspired ride.
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..:(
I actually want to build something like that but as a fixed gear freestyle . I have the frame , just gotta decide how I want it . Gonna go with 26in wheel set, something that will take a beating , lol.
Very nice format
Hell yeah! Resorting to science for a stuck seat post.... you did the bike justice!
Yep, you've done it again! That thing looks rad dude!!!
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.
This is my fav bike from your collection. Great job!
That bike looks great!! I have a gt outpost that I want to do something similar with.
Bmx with a bikerack ...wheely and grocery getting all in one...❤❤❤
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.
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
That's dope! Got my own retro bike and it makes wanna turn it into a 26er bmx like yours! great video ❤️
You put Panaracer on any bike and it shines 😎
I like the gallium trick on the stuck seat post.
So sick. Great rundown, Eric. Also, kudos on the grade-A suspension build (like...keeping us hanging, I mean).
Love that thing man! I rode my dads old outpost trail all through middle and high school. If only mine was this cool hahaha
Try mechanical hydraulic disk brakes! Feels more like hydraulic braking power and still the ease of installation and € of mechanical! They're awesome!
Sick bike
Amazing that after all that, even the colour scheme and accents look doooppppeeee
Super cool, I've never seen that seat post removal technique. Rj the bike guy has some interesting methods too!
Great video!!
Aw snap! That thing is gorgeous! I think this could be your best build yet. Somehow you might have topped the specialized.
Now that's a cool-ass bike, nice work going into this one, the final result lived up to the hype 🔥🔥
Awesome vid bro
man i still crack up at that clip where you threw the frame out
YOOOOO!!!!I want one of these now!!! cool build!
Dude do it ! Bmx all of the bikes 🤣😆🤣😆
What an adventure. That was a hilarious journey to watch.
I thought this was hilarious a year ago until I recently undertook such a journey myself and now it doesn't seem quite as humorous.
That was a really fun format. Also the bike is sick!
Nicely done
Cool bike
I love old GT's
Happy solid affordable
That's a lot of work, but it's pretty neat.
BMX all the bikes!!!!
I hope you bmx all the bikes
I bet that’s a killer wheelie bike!
Pls bmx all the bikes🥰
I have a question. Are mountain bike forks different from Bmx forks?
I fucking love this bike.
Bravo! Bravo!
That thing looks sick!
I just Got a great GT platform from a very similar situation
Bro I’ve been trying to build my a GT all terra coronado and you just made me realise that the KEY component (to make it look perfect) is a straight dirt bike fork. How much did you end up spending on this build? Thanks!
F*cking love it man.
It turned out really nice👍
Great job I like it
Awesome indeeed, it looks fantastic!
so.. detangler.. front brake with thru the stem routing.. hookworm 2.5
Solid!
Just recently sub'd to this channel and I am loving it! Your builds are awesome and so entertaining. Cheers 👊
Well i guess i need to build one now
plz share completed product
I've more or less BMXed every bike I've owned for the last 30 years, with the exception of an actual BMX bike, which I converted to a utility/commuting bike.
Is something wrong with me??
What was the size and brand of fork you eventually settled on?
Sweet!
Most enjoyable videos yet! Why not slap a dropper on that with the lever below the seat?
Do they make them in that small diameter?
@@Quaid_Nasty Gravity Dropper makes them in pretty much all sizes. Not cheap but there is an option
What is that galium stuff for the stucked seat post????
nicer then my throne 29er
very cool
thanks for this video eric
❤ it !
Nice vídeo. So Much old school Casey Vibes. Sure took a long time to film and edit. Congrats. Greetings from Brasil
Pls let me know what exactly crank and bb do you use (bmx one) got so much sens with a convesiin of that and that's tipe of bb tube of a frame
Definitely awesome
Sweet! What size frame is the GT? Seems like smalls are the way to go...
This bike in the video looks like an 18" frame, I wouldn't go any bigger than that, but 16" is sweet too, more like a proper BMX with sloping to tube for a more racey feel. Looks like a fun bike to ride!
Do you know if the vantara is the same frame I want to do a build like this and found one close to me ?
Thing looks sick! Sweeeet!
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
It’s a 26” BMX fork
Come on, this bike deserve a proper paint job !!!
BMX all the bikes anyway.
GT hardtails always look cool.
Dont lie cause we all know that the rockhopper is your favorite bike
