GT 26” Frame Set Unboxing Gary & Craig Turner

The day has come! UPS delivered my Gary and Craig Turner GT collaboration 26 inch BMX frame set. Please visit www.gt1972.com and pick up one of these awesome frame and fork. He’s doing 20, 26, and 29” bikes. All welded by Craig Turner himself. Craig also sent me a hat and shirts for the fight against cancer. My wife is battling breast cancer so this was such an awesome gesture.
Amazing family at GT and CT BMX!

Stumbled on this video and I had to have one. Just purchased a 26” frame myself. So rad!

[@cruisinginthe808]

Love it! Looking forward to seeing that bike come alive!

[@apexbmx5852]

thank you for the comment! Love your channel by the way!

[@darrenrogers5735]

Hey mate. Just a resource that may assist to enable your wife to get well. Worthwhile checking out. John Rose on KZbin talks about this topic and helps provide a means by which the body can be restored to proper heath. Great to see the beaut support from the GT family. Cheers fella!

I say go gold and red like the sticker in the best way possible

[@apexbmx5852]

I like that idea! I decided on illusion blue and will be decking it out in a bunch of polished parts. Toughest part is I have to wait 3 weeks for it to come back from the powder coasters!

[@platz2113]

That is bad ass Eric!! So cool of him to add the extras for you as well. Can’t wait to see the final results of the build.

[@apexbmx5852]

Thanks bro! Yes, it was super awesome of Craig to add the extras like he did. I can’t wait to get this over to powder coating.

[@briankaehler6857]

Craig is great he accomadated me as well with a request, I purchased two frames from him a 29" and a 26" , had the 29 done in black and the 26 done in sparkle silver, which i was not sure of doing but because the silver on is website doesnt give the color justice but wow it really pops in the sun, its almost like a metal flake paint the sparkles dont stop, its like the next best thing from chrome, i was impressed. Hoping your wife beats the cancer keep things in good spirits and powder the frame in the sparkle silver you will not be sorry

[@Tyluca]

So cool mate! So bloody awesome! Hope everything ends well with your wife bro! 🙌💯

[@stevebarnett155]

I have the 1972 GT/CT 26inch frame and fork number 10 of 50 50th anniversary edition .

[@apexbmx5852]

I have number 11! Hey did you have any trouble with fitting the chain to the rear cog? I’m rubbing the rear triangle with the chain. Sent the wheels back and had some GT Superlace wheels and I think that will do the trick because now the cog is further from the frame. Was a crazy situation!

[@stevebarnett155]

@ApexBMX mine is close but doesn't rub.

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together! In the meantime, prayers for your wife. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. Thank god, it was caught early enough to be treated. She rebounded and is doing well with no issues since. Wishing the same experience for you too. 🙏🏻

[@apexbmx5852]

I greatly appreciate it! She is fighting hard!

[@mymidschoollife8485]

Hey man I am sorry to hear about your wife. I recently lost an uncle to cancer, after a lengthy battle. Sending well wishes, and stay positive. Andrew.

[@apexbmx5852]

Thank you my friend! My wife is stubborn and determined to beat it. With the help of Duke Cancer and all the prayers to our man up above, I believe she will beat it, God willing!

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

Great video man!

[@apexbmx5852]

Thank you!

[@TheDwightMamba]

I have the white Pro Performer Heritage and the welds look like they were done in a high school shop class in September. I spent a lot of money to distract from it.

[@apexbmx5852]

That’s why I say if your want a GT, get it from the guys who created the company! Take those parts and transfer them over!

[@TheDwightMamba]

@@apexbmx5852 I'm personally not a fan of them selling their name. My bike was given to me as a tip or I wouldn't have bought it in the 1st place. An American made version is enticing though.

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Sub'd! Great video! Sounds like you're going chrome which will look great. If you end up doing any translucent paint, be careful if you sand near those weld marks. They sand off very easily.

[@apexbmx5852]

I went into the powder coater today, he convinced me to go with a illusion blue. The chrome didn’t pop as much as I had hoped. So I plan to go with the blue and then deck it out in a ton of polished and chrome parts.

[@janeblogs324]

Powdercoat is scratch resistant but it fades in a showroom still. 2pac is what all the manufacturers use

[@WillsGarage843]

Just got mine today -I didn’t get the GT stamp on my bars 😢 haha. Oh well. #14 is my frame number.

[@apexbmx5852]

Congrats!!!

[@hkr321hkr]

But I do miss the neon performers. They are classics

[@MrLoco61]

Nice Im thinking of doing chrome but not sure 26" or 29"

[@apexbmx5852]

Do you have a local chrome shop? My biggest issue is finding a decent chrome shop in driving distance.

[@jiveturkey8263]

Stay away from 'chrome' powder coat. I had an intake done for my old Chevelle about twenty years ago. It was so damn ugly I sold it the next day for the price of the manifold minus the powder coat, and felt I made out like a bandit. It looked like someone snorted silver powder and then blew a snot rocket all over the manifold.

[@reddsshaker3477]

You had a lousy powder coater. I’ve had awesome experiences with chrome powder….but we have an awesome powder coater here in Baltimore MD.

[@403patriot3]

Odd choice, Why not be the only person to have a rough frame? Clearcoat

[@apexbmx5852]

That is modern BMX stuff, I come from the times of chrome and bright colors! Planning to build it up in the next couple of weeks. I shipped it to a chrome plater in California, getting it 100% chromed, gonna look like my 85 Mach One!

[@hkr321hkr]

50 years of junk that broke and that took our allowance, sure thanks ..

[@apexbmx5852]

I had an 85ish mach one, that thing was strong…only issue I ever had was the bearings in the bottom bracket….but that’s because I oiled them and didn’t grease anything! Oh to be young again!

[@reddsshaker3477]

Not sure if you’ve chosen a color yet, but a Candy Pink over the Chrome powder would look killer. Google “Hot Wheels Pink Spectraflame” for examples of the color.
