[@kingrudie1662]

[@kingrudie1662]

[@coldcrush9]

What a great kid. Grounded. Not wanting to rush out to his friends. Great job dad. GT forever!

[@thebikefam]

Wow, thanks!

[@heruapocalypse2021]

Very nice Build! Awesome GT cruiser giving that Summer time 80's Vibe.😎👍🏾

[@thebikefam]

Glad you like it!

[@djears]

Damn dope bike. Dope video enjoy the ride. Thinking of buying another GT . Thanks

[@thebikefam]

Thanks! We've done some upgrades, I'll try to get the new videos up by the weekend.

[@Icanreadgood1]

sweet bike man, love the blue.

[@thebikefam]

Thank you!

[@bugsta2012]

What’s the weight of the pro series and the performer? my son has the performer and I’m thinking of the pro series

[@thebikefam]

I have weighed them both. The performer feels a lot heavier, but if I recall correctly, it was not actually actually a huge difference on the scale. I’m sorry I can’t remember the weights, but I’ll try and do it. The next chance I get.

[@deedubz6331]

im gonna order one. great review

[@thebikefam]

Thanks! We've got some upgrades coming up soon, check it out!

[@nathanieldujunco7596]

Thanks for the review. I ride MTB but for the price on the ongoing promotion I thought it would be nice to have one for the pump track. Got my borther to get one too LOL I wonder how big of an issue the floating bearings are vs sealed bearings... Great video!

[@thebikefam]

It had a cartridge style factory, but either way - I can't imagine a pump track being more harsh than a trail for the most part. Its a fun bike!

[@Killerstar291]

I’m going to buy this since I like riding and I wanna do tricks and this seems perfect

[@thebikefam]

Its a great bike. Can find them for $299 if you look.

[@steveb9525]

Just ordered open item from City Grounds. $200 cheaper than GT website. I can't walk home from work, the pain all over my body is killing me. Plus there are some shady people in this drug infested town.

[@thebikefam]

Nice man. What color?

[@steveb9525]

@@thebikefam it’s green. They still have some green open items on the city ground website for $299. Trying to out what tools I need to build it. Looks like Alan keys, pedal wrench, crescent wrench maybe? I got a pump that does either stem. I watched a video on here where the guy built a black one in front of his storage unit. Half the video he is standing between the camera on a tripod and the bike lol

[@steveb9525]

@@thebikefam kid your dad has an awesome garage and setup. My dad never wanted kids and left when I was 3. Don’t end up like me, in and out of trouble.

[@thebikefam]

That green color looks sick. I think those are the only tools you’re going to need. Just make sure everything’s properly tight and you should be rolling in no time. Thanks for watching.

[@thebikefam]

Flip it over if you don’t have a bike stand too that helps.

[@WizzyGzz]

im getting this exact bike in 6 days for my birthday any pros and cons? and how much does it weigh

[@thebikefam]

Congratulations. It’s a great bike. As things wear out, just replace them. If you want to upgrade some parts, we did most things so far. Check out the other videos. Rides smooth, feels a lot more solid than an aluminum bike.

[@bobbylopez991]

Thanks for the review. It is the most thorough available on KZbin for this model performer. A couple of weeks in do you recommend it for the price? I am thinking of getting one.

[@thebikefam]

He is very happy with it, and we’ve got a few things will be upgrading and uploaded in the next week. If you’re able to buy it in the next couple of hours, you can get one free when you buy one on GT’s website.

[@user-nd7uy1qe2e]

Love the bike not tryna hate but why buy the bike and can’t wheelie it

[@thebikefam]

Mostly to get haters hatin’ 😎

[@Ly0n-jn6wy]

Would this bike withstand aggressive riding??

[@thebikefam]

He’s probably got about 100 miles on this one. All over town, learning to wheelie… I don’t know how aggressive you are talking, but so far so good.

[@angad3626]

Can you put pegs on this bike ?

[@thebikefam]

You can. We had pegs on it for a time.

[@michaelrizzi6448]

Beautiful build sir….

[@thebikefam]

Glad you like it!

[@quandaledingle3794]

Hey what where the tools u used for this?

[@thebikefam]

A basic set of wrenches and Allen keys I think other than a pump. If you picked up one of those all purpose bike tools, and an adjustable Wrench, I think that’s all you would need.

[@marcusharmon8389]

I had a 1984 one 😂

[@donnymoniz1277]

Where did you buy this GT from?

[@thebikefam]

This one, we bought from City Grounds.

[@highlifehakz]

its a wheelie bike so do one 😂😂😂

[@thebikefam]

Haha. My son is getting the hang of it. But its a BMX, IDK what a wheelie bike is! ;)

[@donnymoniz3623]

It’s a real company not a scam. I’ve been scammed enough?

[@thebikefam]

City Grounds? Yeah man I've bought like 4 bikes from them.

[@donniebrasco4114]

These new “BMX” bikes do absolutely nothing for me. An upgrade would be getting a 1985-1995 GT Performer in my opinion.

[@thebikefam]

Will you send me one pls?

[@garnet4846]

I'm sure those are easy to come by...

[@natehenke8456]

I’m GT to the grave man I love this video so nice to see such a respectful humble kid and dad. I have a 2021 Maui blue performer myself full spec I love to see the community getting bigger Do you guys have instagram? And where are yall from?

[@thebikefam]

Hey buddy, thanks for your kind words. Maui blue is a beautiful color. Love it. We're out of the Palm Springs area, but no IG yet.
