Thanks for being humble, honest, and trying to just help people and show people things the best you can without being a smart-ass or judgemental you're a cool dude man just keep being you
You can tell dude loves his craft. Good vibes homie.
Nice brings back memories of middle school. I want a GT now. All chromed out.
Memories. I had an 89 GT Performer, blue/white 6 spoked wheel version. Looks like the frame remained all or mostly unchanged. You slipped and said he might of paid too little for his ;). Now if they kept up the same quality in that later version I think the customer got a decent deal.
Awesome find for the owner. Great video. About to start restoring my Mongoose Decade I bought new in 1986.
You had me at “ I only had 1 beer “!!
I’m in the middle of building a 97 performer, but the 94 was my first GT.
Good choice on the 6 spoke tomahawks, I got green 6 spoke tuffs in the mail on the way here for mine.
But yours…is EXACTLY what I want
Gt owned Dyno, Robinson, Auburn and they made parts for other team bikes. All high quality parts! Great build up and learned something about crank spacing too 👍🏿
They provided parts for Powerlite to.
I have a 93 P-61 and it had GT stamped Profile cranks, chain wheel and seat post clamp.
But Dyno parts shouldn’t be on a GT. GT parts can be on the other brands. It’s the bigger name.
'94 gt perf. I'm in the hunt for one. Lmk
Only thing I would change is the color of the chain... Black/chrome chain would flow better!
Overall, great deal!
That GT turned out nice! I always wanted one like that when I was a kid. After I was an adult, I found an all chrome 2001 Redline 5Spot in a pawn shop when it was just a few years old and someone had put a set of Torker 3-piece cranks and a sealed BB in it already and was in perfect condition. It took me 6 months to pay off the lay a way and that bike has never stayed a night outside and has always had a place in my house somewhere. It has sat in a corner collecting dust for years and I am almost 50 now and I got bored recently and needed to get more exercise after working from home for 2 years, I dusted the old bike off and took it for a spin. I started to ride it everyday again and after almost 20 years the BB has developed a few pops and clicks and the 180mm cranks were killing my old knees so I hit EBay with a fresh credit card and ordered a ton of new parts for it, including a set of black Tuff II’s with red wall tires and I found an original downtube sticker for an RL20 that seems to fit the bike perfectly. I found an old school Velo Crossbow seat with a touch of red that matches the tires and decal with a new set of Troy Lee grips to round it off and I love it more now than I ever have and it’s like part of the family. I couldn’t decide on a crank length so after tons of research I finally decided on a set of 175mm which feel really good on my MX24 cruiser but I felt like any shorter and it would feel like a kids bike. Once the cranks get here I am going to blow it apart to the nuts and bolts and do a full cleaning of the chrome parts and reassembly. I may have other bikes but this one will always be special to me and reminds me of a simpler, happier time in my life before all of the headaches of adulthood. I guess that’s why old school bikes are so high now, adults like me with means to buy those bikes we lusted after!
that's dope - care for your bikes ! 170s are fine to.
I think 175 is pretty standard on most bmx bikes so should feel just right
I went with a set of chrome 175mm cranks and added a new chain and chainwheel just to freshen up the drivetrain. It rides better than it ever has now and I get compliments on it just about every time I ride it. I built a new school fitbikeco xxl TRL that I found in pieces on eBay but didn’t like the knee killing 30/10 gearing (60 gear inch, 3.0 ratio) and stepped the chainwheel down to a 28t (56 gear inch, 2.8 ratio) which gives it a little higher cruising speed than the standard ‘55 inch’ setup but doesn’t make my knees ache (as badly) after a long ride.
I like the tri mags, survivor clear grips, and then 3 piece crank. Nice!
It's cool to see GT did not really change a lot from 1987 to 1991. Probably different brand brakes or different stem and mags but man it's really true to 1987
I saved up my paper route money when I was 10 to get the ‘93 version in chrome. Rode the crap out of that thing until I was 16 then sold it in a garage sale. Still kicking myself for selling that bike..
I'm watching Phu after midnight because he always cheers me up plus I like the content 😊
Outstanding deal right there and you did a great job at the final assembly..very proper and well done brother!! 🤙💯😎
I had one of these when i was 14. I rode it until it just fell to bits. I have never loved a bike as much as that GT.
I think you made the right choice on the wheels.
This was posted on a Facebook group along with another gt same condition. It sat for a day or two until it sold. Great deal on who purchased it! If I didn’t have my black 96 black dyno air I would have deff got this. Enjoy! Sick bike!🔥
If I remember right, there were the GT Pro Performer with a bent bottom tube ( by the crank like a Dyno) and the type with out the bend on the bottom. I had won a large flatland contest in 1983-84 they gave me a brand new yellow GT Pro Performer. Needles to say I switched from Haro to GT after that in my career.
@@LoweDistortion right on for the info, it’s been it seems forever since I talked about GTL O L. My name is Ryan and I rode with jump in Joe and Max Gadiotti here in Denver. I have some old VHS tapes, even footage of me on ESPN in the early days, got it from a film guy downtown. My dad drove me to get a VHS tape back in 1987, we paid him $35 and he gave me the VHS tape. I still have it. After seeing all kinds of footage being uploaded to TH-cam, I remember the producer made music and made a video for an opening sequence and I was in that as well, not sure how to upload a VHS but I heard that guys can do it. Thanks for the inspiration. I will try and do that. Did you ride in Colorado back in the day
Nice!!!....I still have my '87 GT Pro Performer with : ACS R.L. edge freecoaster, Haro knee saver, Tioga Roll pegs, Tioga 1pc Crank, Tuff-neck sprocket, GT stem, GT laid back seatpost, Dia-Compe Bulldog, 990's, GT seat post, SST (??)platforms, Mushroom grips, Mushroom crank dust cap, ...all parts I sourced back in '87. The wheels though need to be re-laced, got them from Rockford BMX. 1st time I listed everything, now I have to put it back together. Also have the Peregrine Mags in Radberry, and my 1st set of mags, Tuff Wheels II, that was on my 1st build, a '85 Vector, which got stolen at the Pac-Man Arcade in Pasadena, along with my Brother's Race Inc, our friend's Torker., and the only bike that we recovered, my other friend's Schwinn Predator...That was the worst day for us, ever (summer of 1985).
Yo, that Home Depot bearing press is gold. Thank you for that!
Takes me back for sure. I used to ride a gt fueler for gt in Lake Havasu City in the 90s. Great bike great memory. Thanks man
So nice ..Cheers for putting out the cool content guys!
The best bmx shop and best bmx videos. Keep making videos guys
Rims are bad arse!!! Thanks fam
this bike looks great and the gold chain goes with the grips he new what he was doing with this build 👌
Absolutely.
Phu you might not be the best , but your totally rad man ! , y’all’s content is live wire and helps out so many 👍🏻👌🏻
My son is racing BMX now and these videos are really helping me out for working on his bike!! not sure we're you guys are from. And just started watching but definitely helping. Thanks 👍 form Canada
This build came out really nice! Cool video!
That bike is great! I just been getting into working on bikes and it’s so rewarding. I learn from this channel and I am grateful for that.
I had trouble with the spelling of that too 😂 it’s actually “grateful” 👍
@@kevinruger8819 have you ever thought no one gives a shit but you and like 5 other Nancy boys
finished build looks dope guys!
I have a GT box series from when I was a kid , I need to rebuild it. That Performer is so clean.
The next time I’m in California I’m definitely stopping by the shop, y’all do good work
🙏🏼
Man when I was 14-15 I was in love with this bike. I swapped the stickers for blue
That’s a well nice find The GT performer looks lovely I remember the GT tri-spoke mag wheel my mate had one on a GT bump and broke the spokes on the front tri mag wheel
The gt dirt jumpers were awesome. My best mate had a thumper.
Thank y'all for the videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ much love from Tennessee
I’m loving this old school bmx content gts and haros are my fav
💜
Nice vid. For the sprocket lock nut, put it in a bench vise and turn the cranks, they come off super easy. No more shredded knuckles. ;)
That is what I’ve done since the 80’s. Can’t believe he doesn’t use the bench vise method.
nice whip! Cool channel man really dig your humble attitude
That performer is dope, i normally stopped in 89 BITD but i dig some of the early 90s gt and Dyno's. I restored a white 91 performer in 2008 that i paid 50 bux for,and also my friends 90 hazard decal performer that he still has and i changed some parts on it recent and dialed it all up and he's riding it.
In other words i like all the S bend gt frames. My 87 Dayglo PFT is my Grail. Its on my channel too.
Beautiful Buy! but your right about the chrome chain imo also because of its great condition hope he keeps all the original parts you replaced. These are gonna be like old rare muscle cars (numbers matching) in the future if not pretty much already. Oh yeah and definitely was Stored inside!! And no extreme heat either!
Just started watching the channel and just realized you guys are down the road from where I work. I'm looking to upgrade my wheel set...gonna have to swing by soon
Pull up
@@AlfredoMancuso and loop out
I had a 93 back in the day! I’d love to get it again!!
Its a 1994 gt performer i like what you have done to it ,the six spoke look nicer than the 3 spoke ,i like the repop power series crank ,nice work,the customer should be happy with that
Let the haters hate Alfredo 😅. So far getting some awesome info and tricks on bike restoration. Restoring an 83 GT Pro I’ve had for 40 years.
I want a GT Performer so bad!! This bike looks absolutely amazing!!!
I used to love my GT Mach 1! This is also a sick build man!
Part of the fun is putting it together yourself, that's a lovely build though
Love the content. Keep it up
No hate at all. I always love watching builds 🤙
i had that same bike as a 12,13 yr old loved that shit super killer find
Keeping it flowing old school like a wave pool
19:49 @Phu Vu Nice Tip ,Thank you!
I've had so many of these parts back in the day... Same with that war pig you'd shown the other day. I have a GT from the same ERA decked out with a bunch of Odyssey and Primo parts 🤟😁
The guy got that thing for a steal! Three piece crank sets it off it looks sick!!! Now maybe some odyssey parts
That's amazing that it exists in such good condition. That's a score. I've worked on bikes for 30 years and grew up with bikes like this. I have not seen one that nice since they were new in the bike shops.
Right..that thing looks brand new
Beautiful bike. Nice work! Nice grab. 👍👍
🙏🏼
Tri spoke is called fan mags and the other set is called the tomahawks
Great job! Awesome bike 🥇
I wish I still had my original number Pro Performer. Chrome with Vector bars and Flight Cranks! Man she was sweet!
man im so glad my 92-93 dyno compe never sold at our tag sale when we moved. I was trying to sell it for under 200 dollars too. haha
Thats badass bro great job!...keeping it old school
Needs the gt wing sprocket that one seems cheap with them nice cranks definitely would look cooler too
I always loved the look of these dyno bikes
Dig that 80’s shirt! “Intimacy!” (Synth sounds) “Intimacy!” (Synth sounds)
Do u have any original s&m Holmes pitch forks n stem looking to rebuild my holmes
I have a 2021 Pro Comp 29 and it’s awesome.
Seeing this bike makes me miss my Auburn CR20R 😢 the memories I have on that bike man I wish I can find one again
Anytime you can find a gem and make it better do it. Nice work !
👊🏻👊🏻
I’ve still got my baby blue 97 gt performer frame and bars just no wheels and would love to get that thing built up again. I just don’t know where to start.
Love it awesome bike and upgrades nothing too flashy and close to og.
Looks good ..Great job..experience counts!!
You guys are inspiring me to fix up me 82 Sting.
Let’s see it!
Gorgeous bike
i had one in black and pink. when i got it it was already vintage and that was 25 years ago. i rode does plastic wheels to bits. best times !!!
Good choice on wheel change
So happy your tube sugested this vid!! New sub!! Takes me back to when i was a kid. Had a fresh Diamondback. Cabt even believe how much these retro bmx bikes are going for now a days. Wish i kept all mine. Lmao
Really dig the old school and mid school bikes. On my 14th birthday I got a Jamis Laser 2001, but it got stolen after about 2-3 months. I've been looking for one, but they rarely pop up for sale.
Nice install and sweet install tips and tricks! Totally rad mid school build ! BAD A$$$$$$$ !!!! I agree W/ chrome/silver chain to accent the chrome on the GT against that black performer frame,however still looks sick!!!!! The 6 star GT mags make that build look even more retro for sure! Cool find and build ! A++++++
My dad bought me a gt dyno for my 7th birthday! Loved that bike! my dad passed away a year after and then my bike got stolen shortly after. Been trying to find another one that I can give to my son, But they’re always on the pricey side..Sweet build!
That washer prompted me to pick a new sprocket, for some reason free agent still includes the 3/32 thin ones.
I have been trying to find one like my gt performer I bought in the 80s. Was Maui blue and 2 piece crank. But the kicker is that I had white pegs that bolted on the forks.. the forks had threaded "bungs" to add the white pegs. They were not the flip up and down ones and bought straight out of the bike shop. Does anyone have an idea on the model or specific about the one I had?
Man I thought those clear gt grips were so cool had them on my mach one
I learned how to ride on a red performer 1988 in Boston....classic...
I love it! That bike is just beautiful!!!
That bike is so clean. Cant wait to get my own.
Beautiful piece 😍
Bike came out very nice great build..
Sick! But no flanges on the grips, get some Credence grips on there and it's perfect ! (IMO)
💯
keep em coming!
Those GT cranks and pedals are revenge primo cranks and pedals I used to run those on my street bike back in the day really really good stuff
1st, you are right about the chain, chrome would've gone better. 2nd, you are a great mechanic, Very knowledgeable. Keep these going please, quenches my thirst so I don't do unnecessary shit to my bikes just to do it..
You have the best job . I’m so jealous. Working on old school bmx . I have frames Uk 🇬🇧 ones .
Judging by that stem it looks like early 90’s like ‘91-‘93……..I had many different dyno/GT’s back in those days….that was my go to brand!!!
I have a 96 Dyno air, does not have the original Wheels but the bike and everything is still original, it has like the black background with red splash paint, what is the value on a bike like that exactly?
The OdysseyPitbull breaks weren’t stock?
I think that GT turned out very nice! The reflectors....not my style, but other than that, spot on. P.S. Only thing different I would have done is go with real Skyway Tuff wheels and a billet sprocket, but hey, the customer likes the other one and that is all that matters.
I agree and maybe change the grips put mushrooms or aimes on it other then that great looking bike
You're cool enough bro we like you you don't have to be the best, just do the best you can, love your channel.
Man those 3 spokes where realy whippy they where the first thing switched out on a 96/97 performer i put t1000 oddesey wheels on mine with some s+m cranks a dk fatboy inverted and some exposure 4 peice bars i rode dirt on it and used it for work still got a few parts of it buried in the shed someware .
Kool vid mate 🤘
Those 3 spoke wheels are worth a lot now. They are iconic. Typically just for cruising. Not for serious riding. But definitely hold a place in BMX history.
I love how Alfredo, a modern rider, can appreciate old-school BMX bikes. I love that you love learning about the history of BMX freestyle bikes, unlike new school riders who could care less which at times pisses me off. BMX is not 100 years old like baseball. There's always room for learning. Also, the guy who does these builds is a super awesome humble dude who genuinely cares about BMX. Keep these videos coming bro. Much love from NYC!
