The sources you mentioned are spot on . Another great place is Planet BMX. I find their selection of products is awesome and have built several old and mid school BMX bikes. Prices can be a bit steep but what isn't. That goes for any supplier these days though.
So awesome you shared your secrets! People may be able to find parts, but building old school bikes like you do will be hard to match!! You really put some nice work out there 🔥
You got some heat there, my dude🤓👍🏽! I occasionally go online looking for some authentic GT fork standers. You're correct about the prices for the goodies you'll come across.
I had a 1887 GT pro series mach 1 Performer when I was a kid man that bike stock was fast !!! Love old bikes I still have the frame up in my attic needs new decals, for some reason I got a new bike and I wanted to take apart the GT and I did but I was to young to put it back together and yea that was that lost most the parts but I have the frame lol
Like the tips, I'm looking to restore my 85 Robinson pro to how I had it back in the day with period correct parts. I've looked but just can't find a 1986 or 87 Robinson 24 cruiser frame and fork at a reasonable price point(found an 87 but the guy wanted like $12000.00 for it).
I have a hoard of midscool Hoffman’s and dirt bros ind , some to note 03 pro team condor , 03 star series condor , 02 pro team after market instrument, 03 star series instrument, 98 ek wembley ed , 01 dbi patriot, and an nos never built complete red dbi short bus ,just to name a few . Btw are you on the bmx museum at all ?
I have early '80s redline flight crank single pinch bolt with complete bottom bracket and a 44 tooth old school '80s sprocket. Where would be the best place I could go to sell it? Love your channel
I trail round bootsales one of my better finds was a green haro sport mine for £12 (he wanted £15 lol)a 84 performer with hutch areospeed cranks £5 (it had no wheels on it a motomag mongoose £40 ,a dimond back viper £30,yammaha moto bike £10,a 24"hutch and a 24"brew both for £42 ,king dirt and a holmes where free someone left them after the sale was over and loadsa stuff like dks haros wtp easterns where under £20 and a fly devon smillie for £35 theres loadsa bargains at sales and i havent even started on auctions .
Join a group/ forum, Youll make friends and do deal after deal after deal. None of this reproduction shite. Id say after 10 yrs of doing this across the boards locally and internationaly, Ive found 90% of o/s bmxers avoid ebay and tbh, if it wasnt for newschoolers id say the shops/ online outlets would sink. After countless builds, in the decade ive been collecting, ive probably used bmx specific shops 30, maybe 40 times. Just my twopeneth. STAY RAD 🤙🤙🤙
I love bmx specially flatland but i dont have a real strong one so i build mine from scratch from junk yards and ive just started but my stem keeps rotating and wont lock together so ive just full welded it so it wont move anymore hahaha Amazing classic bmx though i love them
The Rotor performed poorly, too much friction on the stem. The Gyro is still made today, same as the original, because it performs flawlessly. There are also newer aluminum gyros, with sealed precision bearings. Amazon has them all.
Oh hell yeah!!! I am here to witness the origin of the radbmxbuilds TH-cam channel! First comment of many! 🙏🙌
Thank you so much
Yesss! First video! Killed it
Thank you for the advice and motivating me to do it
Wow.... I'm going to say it... That was the best BMX tutorial I've ever seen.... Great content 😉👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you

Great job and congratulations! I’m so proud of you 👏 🥰😎
I just purchase a rough looking 88 dyno pro compe for $650 @ auction. Only thing missing was the tires .. Currently rebuilding it.. What a steal
So awesome you shared your secrets! People may be able to find parts, but building old school bikes like you do will be hard to match!! You really put some nice work out there 🔥
Thank you so much. I really do put my heart and soul in to it
Thanks for the tips. Getting ready to start a ground-up resto on my 1978 Torker.
Glad to help

A Pro Series, Mach One and a Performer are three separate bikes
On "Offer Up" there are complete bmx bikes under $150. Mostly of the Freestyle variety.
Careful you get what you pay for
Awesome, So helpful. Thanks for sharing this information.

😂😂😂😂 nothing wrong with repop. It’s a preference. I’m part of several groups.
What are the best boards?
way over priced
Or you are broke and can’t afford it lol
Helpful video, thanks bud.
So glad I found this (you) as I am looking for parts to do a total restore.
Hope these videos help
I hate when music on videos it's so loud and the voice so low
Maybe it’s your settings
The ending of RAD the movie still makes laugh today
Still one of the dopest movies of the 80's though, right? 😉
Wow this is so helpful ty my friend
You are so welcome
Show!!!I love Old School BMX!My collection - 83 Caloicross Extra,86 Caloicross Freestyle,76 BMX Suzuki,Pro X série 4 ,91 Caloicross Pro,BMX Dnz.
I built my LSA supercharged LS swapped nova and LS swapped vortech supercharged c10 with e-bay…..you can build anything from that place
Do you sell and ship? If so what's entry-level BMX 80s early 90s?
Beautiful work and love the passion.
does anyone know where i can find some discontinued Demolition Team Grips?
I love bmx specially flatland but i dont have a real strong one so i build mine from scratch from junk yards and ive just started but my stem keeps rotating and wont lock together so ive just full welded it so it wont move anymore hahaha
Amazing classic bmx though i love them
Love the story. Keep doing what you love
Mantaf..BMX old schol👍👍
👍
Good looking out. I want an old school rotor or gyro like the one I had on my pro performer!
The Rotor performed poorly, too much friction on the stem. The Gyro is still made today, same as the original, because it performs flawlessly. There are also newer aluminum gyros, with sealed precision bearings. Amazon has them all.
Eddie Fiola is looking for a white GT Viscount (not aero) for his Hall of Fame bike build.
Already set him up. Thank you
Awesome!!!
Thank you bro and keep it rad 👍👍🌍🌍
Thank you. New videos weekly
