Feed it up first thru the fork , then pull the cable thru your pots mod. Then you can put the stem in.

Great video and curated clips Tony! Thank you again, these have been great to watch and enjoy. In my short study of PPs/PFTs since 2021 I fully agree with your summary statements at the end, they had to have been making so many bikes in late 87 into 88 the FS stamp had to be haphazard with bigger fish to fry.
@atrains 10 күн бұрын
In addition to this video a fellow GT owner presented a photo of his early 1989 Aggressor that had the FS stamp instead of the A. Now there are two possible reasons for this; 1) factory error grabbing the wrong dropout when welding. 2) GT was very confused about the aggressor in the beginning and some photos of it in ads show it with PFT decals. Another ad has no decals at all. Regardless GT might have considered it freestyle at first before making the change to Aggressor model abbreviation. What it does mean and proves is that Gary misspoke in the video. We all can agree that 1989 Aggressors were USA built being prototypes at that moment in time. So FS being stamped contradicts Gary’s FS = made overseas answer he gave.

Holy CRAP!!! I own that exact bike in that same color!! 1988 GT Pro Freestyle Tour in electric blue with sealed mechanism mags! I found mine at Russel’s Bike Shop in Downey, CA in June, 1990, just about a month after my ‘87 Pro Performer was stolen. I still have it. Mine is in about 90% survivor condition with nearly all original parts. It came with those exact cranks, but there was a problem and the bike shop had to swap them out. There wasn’t enough thread, and the lock nut kept popping off and falling down to the pedal. The shop replaced them with newer GT Power Series 1-piece crank arms which have the logo dry-transferred in black letters similar to the 3-piece cranks. Also, I hated that stem. In ‘92 I finally found an original 1985 stamped GT block stem in white with a Potts-mod hollow bolt. My mom bought it for me ($35), and I had Bellflower Bikes install it. Unfortunately, when they did that, they also replaced the lower cable with the new, longer Gyro cable, which I never liked. I still have the original cable in my parts collection, and I know the dual cables are 4” long. I was always happy with the newly installed block stem. I thought this was the correct stem for ‘88 because that’s how the bikes are equipped in the ‘88 catalog. Not until the internet came along did I slowly realize that the new, inverted GT stem (which doesn’t appear in the catalog until ‘89) actually was factory original for ‘88. I still have the factory inverted stem and plastic cap which came with the bike, although the shaft is bent forward. The shaft on the block stem is perfect. In ‘92, when I started 9th grade, I very badly wanted to add GT Superlace wheels. These were still being sold at that time, but I couldn’t find any with the original GT hub logo. Even though they were 36-spoke hubs, they were being provided with the new GT sleek logo hub sticker of the ‘90s. I was never satisfied with this, so I ended up never buying them. I replaced the tires twice and the grips once, but I always bought the correct ones. The correct tires are the GT 20x1.75” low-profile tread, and they are all white. My last set of tires came from Albe’s mail order, which I installed before I retired the bike and switched to a ‘94 Pro Freestyle Tour Team Model, which I also still have (in pieces). The 990 is not the correct U-brake for ‘88. GT Pro Freestyle Tours, Pro Performers and Dyno Pro Comps came with a thicker U-brake from Axiom, which I bet is difficult to find today. The 990 is the better brake, though, because it offers better brake pad adjustability. My bike also has Odyssey RX-3 levers and a Dia-Compe 883 Nippon in the front. My powder coat is factory original, and is in excellent condition with no fading. My mags are pretty yellow, and so are some areas of the cable housings. The correct pegs are the first generation GT steel pegs, which go in the rear with the frame standers. The alloy pegs you have are correct for ‘87; my Pro Performer had those. My bike came with black, sealed cartridge bottom bracket bearings just like those, so I believe those are correct. 👍 Thank you for uploading your video! Stay rad! 🤙
@atrains 17 күн бұрын
Hey bud that was a lot to unpack. Well I’m glad you liked it! As for the 990 being the incorrect u brake for 1988, that is not true. GT used the DC990 and the Axiom 767 brake through 1988-1989. When the DC990 came out in 1986 and GT started using them in 1987, many other bikes started as well, like Haro. There was a shortage of DC990 and GT needed to fill a void. The Axiom was used on the Pro Performer, PFT and the TM in 1988 but not all of them got it. I have a survivor PFTTM ‘88 that had it. I had a ‘88 PFT new when I was young that had it as well. But there are specimens out there with the DC990 from the factory.
@corrioliseffect 16 күн бұрын
@@atrains Hey that's really interesting. I never saw an '88 GT or Dyno equipped with a 990, but I have always wondered why the Axiom was used. I used to like the Axiom better as a kid due to it's thicker, more visible look. It wasn't until my flatland days in the '90s when I realized that the 990 is really the better system. I'd really like to know why in the '89 catalog, both Pro Freestyle Tours are equipped with Nippons in the rear. I've only learned recently through seeing people's bikes on KZbin that the actual '89 Pro Freestyle Tours came with the same chain stay mounted U-brake system with the cable through the down-tube as it was on '87, '88 and '90.

Honestly….remove the cable housing from the cable and feed the cable through the top entrance of the s-bend. Then fish it out the lower exit guide then install the cable housing and push it back up. The hosing will follow the cable. See the video below for more details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWpe5SCir5litksi=I7uEAKYFVXl1YBK9

The only thing I don't like is the whale tail type frame standers and the GT fold down fork standers. They never came on any of the pro freestyle tours and by the time they made that bike nobody used them because they were pretty much useless for all the rolling and scuffing tricks by that time but I guess it's down to personal preference and the bike looks great either way
@atrains Ай бұрын
Well that’s not entirely true. Starting in 1987 the Pro Freestyle Tour came with fold down fork standers and Gen 1 frame standers. This carried into 1990. I agree they were somewhat useless and I removed them from my ‘88 PFT BITD. But they did come on the PFT and TM.

There are many 1989 PFT models at the Museum with welded 990 mounts on the bottom of the chain stay. Some noted serials in 89 too. You said that in 88 GT used the 2188 seat. The one you showed does not have the bubble font logo on the seat. Your 2188 example had the slanted block font logo on the seat (6:08 mark). That style logo doesn't appear on bikes until 1990...including frame decals.
@atrains 2 ай бұрын
Hey thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah there are a few people who claim that they have factory 1989 PFT and TM without the 990 mounts from the factory. Everything I’ve seen has 990 mounts. I think this all stems from the explosion of bikes wanting to use the DC990 which was relatively new in 1987. GT had to switch to the Axiom for 1988 in some cases. There weren’t enough DC990 to go around between Haro and GT and everyone else. So the myth has some validity that they would have abandoned the mounts and put the brake on the top like the catalog shows but I’ve not seen proof of this. I did see the 1989 Dayglo yellow PFT frame set though. So there is that. I have a 1989 PFT (5/89) and it has 990 mounts. Onto the seat. Yes I showed the 90’s GT seat for comparison. Doesn’t matter it’s still a 2188 Viscount. My point was the 2123 is 1987 only. The 2188 was ‘88 and well into 1993.

Not BMX related but still GT related, I own a 1998 GT Tempest, which in the catalogue states the frame is 7005 series Aluminium (I live in UK, hence different spelling). However my GT Tempest is stamped and stickered as 6061 Custom Blended and butted, I don't know how many of these still exist. I have seen people selling and showing off the same year Tempest with 7005 aluminium. Maybe the 6061 were left over from Avalanche models, although the main distinction is that my Tempest frame doesn't have an integrated seatpost clamp and externally reinforced headtube. Other than that it's a great bike to own and ride. I bought it as a frame and built it up like a BMX/MTB hybrid as I need gears to ride up and down hills.

Most of the GT freestyle line up used laid back seat posts. Mainly the racing bikes had straight posts. The drain pipe was just a cool idea from Dyno much like their Pretzel bars. Provided they are made of chromoly materials then they plenty strong. You can still bend or tweak the laid back post if you did something stupid when riding but it was less likely to bend vs the laid back post.
