[@RadBMXBuilds]

Thanks for watching! So rad.

[@brdnl3]

Funny how pads on an old school bike are cool now when that was the first me and my friends took off because they weren’t cool back in the day

[@RadBMXBuilds]

They were always cool in my group of friends and still are

[@streetlife20]

💯true!!!

[@BMXAuthority]

Super cool number plate. Been quite awhile since ive seen one of those. It looks killer on the bike!

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Thanks for noticing! It's a rad detail.

[@DennisAlexy]

Absolutely stunning bike! Very RAD! Takes me back to the 80's. Best decade ever! Thanks for continuing to make these videos! Wishing you continued success! Happy New Year!

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@dragonflygenetics420]

I think you're one lucky guy!!! To have all those Rad bikes!!!! First movie that got me into BMX "Rad"... Use the daydream of jumping and racing looking at these bikes in the BMX plus!!! Mid school.... fun days!!!

[@RadBMXBuilds]

I work very hard to have these bikes. Thank you for watching the videos

Hi Sean. The bike looks amazing. Very Rad! My custom 1982 GT pro was stolen in 1985. It took me three years to save up and purchase the bike as I only earned one to two dollars per lawn mowing. It takes a long time to mow 400+ lawns. My parents punished me and made me walk everywhere until I was old enough to purchase my own vehicle. So after 1985 I never had the pleasure of experiencing another GT. My question is about the 87 pro. Most of my practice came on dirt trails along the side of the river. I cannot imagine how much mud and dirt would collect in the rear brake mount and the 87 pro. I’m assuming feedback from trail riders is the reason why it was only used one year. Just curious do you know why it had such a short lifespan? I’m going with my guess, but no matter what it sure is a beautiful bike. Thanks for producing these videos. I know they take a long time but old guys like me really do appreciate remembering our youth. Thank you happy New Year’s and also thank you for your service.

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Wow what an awesome comment. Thank you for watching the videos and sharing your story. The brake bridge was also known to crack and simply put it was more expensive and difficult to build so they went back to the tubular bridge. GT still experimented and used a flat oval like on my 89 Pro Series.

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Love the bike! 💙Pro tip. In all gt race and freestyle epoch's you have to mke sure the bottom for race has no play at all and it very snug or you will have that play you talked aboput,ask me how i know. Another thing i always do is i cut a soda can and wrap it around the fork tube area where the bottom race goes and i tap it on and shouyld be night and tight. never had 1 issue since. I noticed you took the race with the bearing on it right off so it was loose to begin with,there was your issue.

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Exactly

[@2dthoughts]

Had an old Mongoose Motomag in mid 80s and was jealous of the kid with GTs, Hutch, Redlines Etc That GT is beautiful

[@cambuster178]

I am looking for a 1989 GT interceptor in chrome much like your pro series you have behind you. Any ideas?

[@RadBMXBuilds]

eBay

[@DCoolbaugh]

Anyone remember ashtabula forks

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Yes

[@BMXbandit347]

Amazing GT Pro Series. I have several project bikes in the works now but your videos really have me inspired to find a GT at some point if they don't get to far out of reach. You have some of the RADest builds.

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Appreciate the love for the build.

[@brocwilliams7087]

Great ride!!!! And you replaced the headset old school living room style( no bike stand) lol😂

[@RadBMXBuilds]

@@brocwilliams7087 I hate my bike stand

[@glennzlotowski8020]

I like the beartrap 2 headsets and also the tange chrome ones .

[@naturalaspired]

Great video. I really enjoyed it! Dope bike, man. Thank you for the content.

[@atrains]

A couple of thoughts on this. First it’s a beauty. But I’m torn that you don’t have GT race hubs on it and legit SR GT power series cranks. It deserves a real 883 in the back too. It would make it uber sick. For the Epoch issue that was definitely because the crown race is incorrect for the Epoch. I have an NOS race Epoch if you ever consider swapping it back. Smart on the pipe, I used that as well. Cool video.

[@Old-Fat-BMX]

Got my morning coffee and a beautiful bike on my phone, it’s gonna be a good day…

[@RadBMXBuilds]

That sounds like a great morning!

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

headset wiggle throws it all off..good job

[@buki4343]

Agreed, headset wiggle is inexcusable. Great work on fixing that annoyance 🎉

[@sunfunskate]

I love that color and the decals! 🔥🔥🔥

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Me too!!!

[@slydwaysdrifter2159]

I absolutely love this pro series. You did an epic job on it. And yes I agree it gives me that 87 feel. I have a hard time choosing my favorite bike of yours. This one is one of the top.

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Thank you for watching! It’s hard to decide

[@kanenstuff]

Love the GT those colors rock but I know those bear traps just rock your shins 😢

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Only if you don’t know how to keep your feet on the pedal

[@kanenstuff]

@RadBMXBuilds ha that's just what happen in life we are not all perfect. If you never had this happen you must be better than Matt Hoffman 🙃 enjoy ya day and love the bikes

[@slydwaysdrifter2159]

@@RadBMXBuildsHA HA! I still have scars to this day from 1989. Apparently I didn’t know how to keep my feet on the pedals 🫤

[@charlesgalea69]

Awesome video thanks mate

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shelbyrockstar]

Is it normal to have issue with a lean back seat post bending under 200 pounds? Had one even bend the inside of actual gt frame. But I may have been landing to hard after trying to land what I think use to be called a decade!? 360 around bars and back. Maybe I expected the seat post to take more. I was a lazy flatlander who liked to sit till running tricks. Is it bad form, or are they just not meant to handle that kind of abuse? Granted, 200 pounds is a bit, I suppose, on a 20.

[@wholespeed]

Great video! What bike stands do you use? They are awesome.

[@RadBMXBuilds]

I got them on Amazon

[@michaelcrowers6628]

Hey shawn I love that shirt I almost bought it to enter for the fs1 that you gave away but it is almost 40 dollars from bunker branding.

[@RadBMXBuilds]

Yeah it’s about 30 plus shipping. I appreciate you almost buying one. Maybe next time 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Old-Fat-BMX]

Not arguing here but I will say that my daughter got me that shirt for Christmas and it’s SUPER nice! Not your basic tee. It’s really soft and comfortable. Just my .02

Breaking New Year’s Day news… What you’re buying the GT brand..??

[@RadBMXBuilds]

How much money do you think I have???

[@slydwaysdrifter2159]

@@RadBMXBuilds🤣🤣🤣 I wondered too, but that sounds like a headache even if you could, I would rather have you just enjoy BMX builds and not have overwhelming stress. I’m hoping you’re selling or a give away with merch purchase. 🤙🏼😎
