- I dug my old bike out of the corner of the shop, it's a 1994 GT Performer that I got for my 11th birthday. It has be buried for at least 20 years, I decided it was time to give it some love and restore it. It turned out AWESOME!!!!

That bike brings back some memories love the mags
After the way you presented your plans, I wasn't expecting much. But wow, you made that thing look brand new. She's a beauty.
Awesome work !
Beautiful bike!
Ride that blue and red that thing is so freaking awesome enjoyed it
Great job!
You inspired me to do my 96 dyno compe from when i was a kid, awesome work
I really enjoyed watching this build. Excellent job! Also, I don't like giving bad reviews to anyone, but I hope you gave that Ebay seller a review letting people know your experience. Cheers!
Really enjoyed this video!
Wow you did a great job...
Kool video.. my childhood was spent riding and fixing up dyno’s and GT’s. Interchanging parts and painting them krazy colors. I’m currently working on one and looking for parts for it. Thank you for your video.
Great 👍 Job looks great 👍
Awesome job 🤙
Nice job. looks good. 👍
Dangggg I built quite a few bikes as well. You did an awesome job.😊
Buen trabajo nice bike
Nice man you did a hell of a job man very good.
Thank you..love this video!
Very nice 👍
Wow good video!Nice build
nice 1994 GT Performer 💯💯👍👍🏆🏆
Those GT mags are EPIC! Love the knee saver handle bars too, Glad you cleaned that amazing time machine up. That's a legendary Gen X mode of transportation right there. WOW, 34 +minutes just flew buy. Thanks for posting one of our generations favorite pastimes.
Beautiful 😍
My late brother had one of these. Rad to see you bring it back to life. He would have loved to see this.
I'll take those Peregrine bars. Thank you very much! :)
I'm happy to see that you commented on the Bars. Hope you got em.
Set post screw needs cleaning and ur bike would be in clean shape nice enjoy and take good care of it
Great job man
Thank you!
beautiful bike man
Thank you my friend!
Had a few performers/ pro performers..pink,blue and chrome .
Wish i still had one.. these and the haro master had the best geometry back then imo.
Id still ride one or a haro master today ,no problem
Great bikes those GTs
great video... seat post is bent
I wish I had that bmx.
That looks bad ass
Gt should do like a limited amount of old school performers. I’m sure a lot of 80s kids would buy them.
Well done! I keep watching these restorations like yours to ge me into restoring my '87 GT Pro Performer that I've had since, yes, '87.
Amazing 👌🏼😍😍
Dude nice bike. I would love your old bars if ya have them still. Let me know
For someone who plays with cars done a better job than some people on here who only build bmx's 👍✊
I got a 91 and wish i had those mags for it
Welcome back to BMX.
I appreciate it my friend! Looking forward to some nice weather!
Dope
Really nice refurb. I'm a bike mechanic. I just refurbished a Dyno VFR with the benefit of powdercoating and all the resources of a bike shop. Yours shines just as good as ours. Well done.
Awesome looking hike, I’m working on my 98 pro performer right now.
Thanks for the video.
‘94 blue spatter…my first GT was exactly like that, sadly I repainted it and traded it in ‘96 for another bike…never to be seen again.
I’m in the process of restoring a 97 green spatter performer, I’d prefer your year for nostalgia purposes…the spatter performers are my favourites.
That paint turned out nice, I appreciate the original bars but c’mon man…those are peregrines!!!
Outstanding video!!! The bike looks TOP NOTCH👍
Amazing work! I'm glad you went back with the fan mags and gum wall tire.
the handle bars on that are worth a quite abit
I still have my 1997 GT Dyno Air which i bought new back then. Needs some new grease and the chrome to be polished a bit. So glad I never got rid of it. Great video.
If you ever decide to sell, I would be wicked interested. Thanks
Beautiful restoration job!
You can reordered the gt decals to restore it tho.
Awesome job! glad to see you used the Original handlebars. Looks great, thanks for keeping the sport alive!
Nice build great job
It looks amazing finished, definitely a trip down memory lane when you see a Gary Turner bmx.
Sick Build bro! 2 questions. I'm currently redoing a 99 Dyno. Question 1 did u use the spacer on the cranks? Question 2 what attachment did u use to take decals off? Thank you sir!
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Boy for as good of info this is. Would love to actually be able to see what you're doing.
Great video, man! I just picked up my 95 GT Performer, with the purple splatter, from my grandma's barn. It needs a lot of love. I will definitely be coming back to this video for reference. I am sure that I will have some questions for you in the near future as I restore it. Keep up the great work!
I got it finished up. When pedaling, the chain gets tight and then loose as the crank turns. Would this be from the chain wheel not being centered properly or from a bent rear axle? If it is the Axle causing it, any ideas on where I can pick up a replacement one?
I had a GT Perrformer a Dyno which is a more generic version. Had severel Diamondback ◇
It's supposed to be like that for larger or tall people back in the 80s 90s...
In case no one mentioned this, use the spacer for the bottom bracket. It prevents crushing the bearings.
Yep,
Looks great brother.
I'm 5 foot 4 so I stayed with th 20 inch bmx.
So you have a video on putting those rear pitbull on??
so cool im also a car guy but only a few weeks ago i started longing for my old skyway that was stolen when i was like 13. found a frame and all the parts recently and just waiting on the mailman before i can start slapping it together. I guess this is what we all do when we get to this age heh. Thanks for the video - Cool stuff
Awesome my friend! Yea, I am in the same boat as you! Sometimes you gotta switch the projects up! Hope your build goes awesome, hope I get to see it!
Your a bmxer. Keep it just ride it have fun
Nice restoration!
Freaking wicked fresh looks great 👍🚴
Wow..not a bad restore. You made good choices considering you are actually going to ride it again. If you went full resto and let it live on the wall just to look at would've been painful. Glad you went this route to enjoy some of those good times again. Wish I still had my 93 Dyno Compe. The Chrome with yellow and black decals and GT Compact disc 43t sprocket. A 13yr olds dream bike.
Thank you my friend!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it. Watched the whole thing. I was hoping those SKYWAY Tuff 2 Mages were going on her with some 97-98 Performer stickers but she still turned out amazing. Love that original kandy blue they used. I still have my '97 GT Performer in Black Rainbow. Been with me since the day i bought it. Thanks for sharing this
I would've went with the Skyway wheels as well. I never took a liking to these or the Stellar wheels that came on the GT and Dyno. For me, spokes or the Tomahawk wheels were it.
Nice work. Clean!
súper tu vídeo yo también tuve una GT vértigo 96,97 saludos desde Bogotá Colombia 🇨🇴😎
Your bike looks great!! wich is the size of the tire? 20x1.7 or 20x2.2?
Great Job ... did you get to ride it?
I only ran 1 front peg bac in the day because Miami Hopper. maybe thats how one disappeared over the years?
I wish I was that good lol! I always wanted to be! Maybe I can get my old ass practicing now, with more pads and a helmet!
Fully restored I've seen these sell for 2 to 3 grand. Google it yourself.
That is amazing 😍 had a GT vertigo in 98
Looks amazing,awsome job! Brings me back to my childhood & the fun i had on mine.
I had the 94' GT air DYNO only mine was in the purple & black.(same set up too) Then it got stolen unfourtunately :-( I still wished i had that bike and here iam 40 years old haha.
Awesome video! Going through a similar process on my old Purple Plasma 1994 Dyno Air currently.
Love the build bro! I just restored my chrome Redline that I have had since early 2000’s. I cleaned and polished the frame and other chrome parts and added new chain, chainring and bearings to go with the shorter cranks to go a little easier on my old knees (I’m of a similar vintage as you 😂). I found some cheap RL-20 stickers that are not correct for the model but I added a new set of black Tuff II’s with red wall 1.95 tires and an old school Velo seat with a few touches of red to complete the transformation. It looks like HotWheels made it now and I get tons of looks and compliments on it riding the bike trails in my neighborhood. Long live Reaper Crew!
Love it man! Would love to see some pictures!
Amazing job 😍 I stared my Haro last year and still haven’t finished it 😅 this just motivates me to get the job done 👌🏼
That thing cleaned up nicely 👌🏾!
Thank you my friend!
@@robschwiesow One of my childhood friends had one in chrome. He'd keep that GT on one wheelie until the sun went down.
That is awesome!
Buy some Perigrine cranks
Freaking Kiss ass man! I still have my 1990 Performer and I had it recently restored and I can't stop kicking myself for letting it go over 25 years ago but you live and learn. I'm just so happy I was able restore it back to it's original glory!
Hook that bike up now..
Really enjoyed the video, great job on the paintwork and chrome. I think putting the original bars was the right choice! The seat posts bend easy, my old GT 88' seat post was the same.
Up too hight to pull seated wheelies was probably the cause ;) The reprop Power series cranks finished it off really well. I was able to rebuild my original from new 88 PFST team back in 2015.
Its great to have these great machine of your youth. Enjoy the rides!
Thanks my friend! Really happy with how it turned out!
The late 80's PFT is one of the best freestyle bikes I've ever seen. If it's dayglo pink, not much can stand next to it.
I like that bike good job 👍
That spot on the top rail that didn't shin up was where you put it in the vice.must have been still wet.ive done that same thing. Nice bike good job on the video.
Great video dude. I been getting into bikes for a few years now. Yours looks great!
So wish I would have kept mine from the mid-80’s. Now I am scouting to find an old beat up one so I can fully restore as well. Wish me luck!
Best of luck my friend!
If you ever wanna sell the bars you took off the bike , I'm really interested 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yea i had the gt tomahawk rims and idk wtf i did with them. :(
Did you just take the original decals off? Brutal
I did, they were in bad shape
I like that 🚲 bike good job!!
Thanks
Wow that bmx looks beautiful man the hard work payed off you did a good job brother 👌
Thank you Sir!
Cut the seat post down just esta weight and it goes nth have to be that long.
Love to bye those bars . Exactly what I had on my Compe
Awesome video, currently working on my original Mongoose Decade from 1988, my biggest challenge is working in the Chromoly frame and some of the minor rust. Might use some of the methods you used in your video.
You’re getting this TH-cam thing down, great video! Wish I had another year in your class, hope to see you at some car shows when I get my Caprice all dolled up.
I appreciate it buddy, wish you were there for both years too. I hope to see you soon as well my friend!
I was wondering why some guys would buy a bearing press, when they could just make one out of stuff they most likely have laying around 😅👍🏽!
Ficou um espetáculo, parabéns, aqui no Brasil uma GT como essa custa um bom dinheiro
