  • I've known Xavier from the car scene for years, but I didn't know his story when it came to 80's and 90's GT bikes. Take a trip down memory lane with these crazy survivor GT's! #gtperformer

    Cool vid bud. You articulated the way you feel about your bicycles and your bike when you were younger perfectly. as a middle-aged man riding in the same era you did it's hard for me to explain to people why I still have a passion for these old school 20 inchers. For us it was about freedom, a way to get away from your house independently and go exploring do anything you want to do. Again thanks for the video man! Keep these old schoolers alive!

If I do decide to buy the Haro, it will be a Haro/GT/Odyssey hybrid.
