What happened to GT Bicycles?

What happened to GT Bicycles?
Today we take a quick look at the history of GT bicycles and discuss what they are currently up to. I have always loved GT because they were one of the penultimate brands to have as a kid. Since their peak, they have been relegated to the same fate as schwinn.....or have they?

GT, Haro, Redline, Mongoose, DYNO and Diamonback were the bikes to have when I was a kid. They were pricey though. I had a Huffy. lol. I always wanted a Redline, though. I"m 44 now. 30 to 35 years ago, that was all we did; ride around on our bikes everwhere and build ramps that sometimes caused broken bones. Bike parts were traded like currency. Good times. I sometimes miss those days.

[@samholdsworth420]

Dyno was GT. 😂

[@ditherdather]

@@samholdsworth420 It's been a long time. I forget a lot of things. lol

[@samholdsworth420]

[@ditherdather]

@@samholdsworth420 I vaguely recall that aluminum frames and 3 piece sprockets were all the rage. Pegs were also pretty popular.

[@ditherdather]

@@samholdsworth420 And we would spend hours sifting through catalogs of parts that we talked about ordering, that we knew we were never gonna order cause they were so damn much money. lol

[@ronnierodriguez2485]

My first GT was an 89 Interceptor. Worked all summer as a 13 year old kid to buy all the upgraded parts when i started racing. Still have it today🤘🏻

[@BLKXJ96]

Same here, I broke my Interceptor frame and got a warranty replacement frame that turned out to be a Mach 1. Wish I still had it.

[@mitchellsavageandmatthewsa8344]

Very cool

[@twiztidsidfreak13]

I'm 42, I grew up on GT and Dyno bikes! I'm a bmx guy! I would love to see GT get back to the level it use to be!

[@jinvanpalta6263]

Yes my early 90s GT Pro Series was so light. It was really fast because it had a larger crank on there but was very comfortable to ride. I wish I never sold it. The guy I sold it to broke the frame and think the bikes became heavy sometime during the mid nineties.

[@Stolas1777]

They have a couple good bmx riders on their pro team. Tate rosskelly is one of the dopest riders out there

[@humbertohernandez6536]

I have a original Gt from the 90's. I was looking on Ebay and they sell for thousands. I'm glad I've kept it this long.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

just saw one online for 5800 dollars!!

[@JohnDemonaco-h7r]

Being an Orange Y local in the 80’s and 90’s I’ve seen Mr. GT’s custom work up close. He’s not a fabricator, he’s an artist.

[@mikekoscielniak5320]

Cover Prodyne

[@ronnierodriguez2485]

That track was dope🔥

[@LJSiar]

That was a great track!

[@leonh619]

*Correction: As of the 1st of this year, GT is no longer selling to Dick's sporting goods, so anything dick's has left is dead stock. They were a part of Cycling Sports Group, which is also Cannondale... PON has split GT off of that group into it's own subsidiary. Apparently they are re-focusing the brand and coming out with some nice new fresh stuff. There is a good article published a couple weeks ago on Bicycle Retailer & Industry News (BRAIN)

[@gr8tnowwhat]

Dont be fooled, they are still owned by Pon and they are tricking dealers into thinking that they support them amd that they are a new separate "old school" GT. Its not and the moment it dossnt work out Pon will screw dealers over to look out for their own self interest. Look into what Pon really is. Look who's left of the companies they bought. Most of thoe people that meant anything are gone.

[@Sandii_x]

Hope they bring back some of their vintage bmx bikes

[@jeffreyking279]

Redline, GT, Diamondback, Hutch, Mongoose, Haro, PK Ripper, Race Inc, Torker, Skyway, CW, Kuwahara, were all brands seen in the Midwest in the 80s. Great stuff!

[@johnmausteller]

I had a 92’ light blue anodized GT ZASKAR, put 15,000 miles on it. Beautiful machine

[@Iloveyouallalittle]

I had purple Karakoram

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

'92

[@mariopejovic]

My first mountain bike was GT Avalanche. Not up there with proper mountain bikes, but I rode it a lot and even where I shouldn't have. Btw, no mention of Hans No Way Ray when talking about GT? He's been ambassador for the brand for almost 40 years and one of best selling riders for them... Made them really popular

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I tried to keep the video short and sweet and just about Gary and Richard so it was hard to leave out Hans. I'd love to do a more in depth video on specifically the GT team

[@melvingrimes7886]

Still got my GT pro performer to this day.

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

I always wanted one and now that I'm 38 I just picked up a 2005 gt performer all original for $50 today.

[@mickdundee7604]

My brother bought pro performer electric blue in 86 he still has it now, skyway hot seat on laid back gt seat post Grey skyway with coaster rear brake Haro freestyle handle bars he nicked off me mx quick release front brake pink gt tires the bike is in almost brand new condition and in his house in Switzerland now

[@melvingrimes7886]

Mine is my connection to the '80s I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.

[@durden.tyler537]

In ‘91 I bought a Tequesta with money from my first job. I wrecked the frame and changed it to an Avalanche. Last year it was resto’d to a ‘93 Zaskar. None of the original parts remain, but I ride it regularly. It’s rugged and precise in all the right places.

[@MossieRidesBikes]

Thanks for watching and the support! GT has a much deeper history than I went into in this 10 minute video. What brand should I dive into next?

[@floydblandston108]

Turner, Maverick, or Felt.

[@3clubforever]

diamondback, mongoose, Raleigh, redline

[@houseofsolomon2440]

PK Ripper, Mongoose, Haro, Redline.

[@durden.tyler537]

Doug Bradbury, Manitou, and Marin

[@freendeed8410]

Try finding the story on Torker. I believe the were located in El Cajon, CA but not sure due to that was 40yrs ago and I forget details at times.

[@bobmorales278]

Pretty spot on video. Never the same after Richard died. Gary leaving was the final blow. There is a book coming out about Richard Long that gives all the details. Good video!

[@stoneyswolf]

I still have my original 1981 GT pro I bought brand new back in '81. In the late '80s it got stolen and then all I got back out of that was the frame forks and I rebuilt it years later.

[@davebartram1732]

I’m 55 and collect old school bmx, yes I have gt freestyle beautiful, I have also had the pleasure of meeting Gary & Craig here in the uk 🇬🇧, they are 100% genuine nice people, I love the GT old school brand and now Craig is building wow

[@atrains]

Nice video. On point. For me it was the 1987-1990 GT PFT especially the Dayglow pink bikes….oh yeah. Let’s hope the new GT is back to its roots. We need a 20” new school style 1987 double bend frame bike.

[@rgw1380rw]

That dayglo pink was mind blowing 😂!

[@madtownangler]

My first MTB that i built up myself was a GT Karakoram about 1994-1995 or so. I got the frame for $75 and used a British manual to put the bike together using spare parts i had been saving. The first thing i did was tried to screw in the bottom bracket from the wrong side.. After they got it installed correctly for me it went fine I lived in a town in the midwest area in the early 70's to 1991 and had never heard of GT before. We had Scwinn and later on my dad had a few too many beers and bought me a Murray x24 BMX bike for my birthday It was freaking huge and i was the smallest kid in my class. I never learned how to pop a wheelie on that monster bike but i remember riding over someone that wiped out in front of me during a bike-a-thon.

[@MrTach33]

Changed my job recently and have a much shorter commute. With the longer days coming in, I've started using my 1997 GT Ricochet to go back and forward to work and leave the car at home. Still going strong after almost 30 years.

[@deeh9303]

I have a GT Tequesta that I bought in 91. It was luv at 1st sight. Upgraded and replaced all of the heavy steel components. Still has the original Rock Shock. It's been well cared for and is still rollin smooth and fast on Maxxis DTH 26x2.215 tires. Lighter than alot of new mountain bikes. I still ride it at least once a week. Lots of miles on it. Get lots of compliments. Glad that I never sold it.

[@ztungaz]

i remember dumpster diving at the GT factory back in the mid '80s for blemished frames. they were always chopped in half but could be welded back together for various projects like sidehacks

[@ThreeLions82]

A video on Redline would be interesting. Also Hutch would be a good one as well. Cheers!

[@hunterbidenscrackdealer3753]

Just found this channel. It’s like a time warp to my youth! Love it!

[@jsdhesmith2011]

I have a GT Outpost Trail I’m putting some love into. I got the bike for $50. I’m really digging it. I used to have old school GF and Specialized mtb’s in the 90’s and I can say this bike is just as good. I like its distinctive “triple triangle” and the top tube has an interesting taper towards the back plus it’s all 4130 cro-mo…good ol steel! It’s also got eyelets everywhere for mounting racks and fenders. This is going to be my adventure/touring bike, after I’m done with it.

[@baggerbenn]

I had a neon pink pro freestyle tour team with white tires and accessories. I worked almost a year busing tables to pay for it. .i wish I never got rid of that bike. They are worth a crap ton of money now….

[@user-ke5md1ho8h]

In 1985 I saved my paper route and lawn mowing money to buy a PINK Dyno Compe for around $200+, a lot of $$ at the time. It was a head-turner and rarely was I mocked for having a pink ride, everyone thought it was really cool. Coolest forks around with the forward bend. I loved it and rode it hard. Hit by a car in '86 which taco'd the frame so I upgraded to a blue Dyno Compe II, it felt like a Cadillac compared to the Compe. Loved the original Dynos and was disheartened to see them transform into a cheap department store brand.

[@Rellbronjames9]

Videos like this bring back a lot of memories, GT, dyno, mongoose, diamondbacks, next, were definitely the bikes to own but bike riding came and went that was the same as getting a new phone, game system, tablet, or new pair of sneakers back in the day love this video

[@blurglide]

I had no idea Gary Turner started GT, and the name was just his initials. Dude was really into putting his name on bike companies!

[@thesilversender]

I am not aware of any other bike companies that Gary Turner put his name on.

[@blurglide]

@@thesilversender I must've mashed Gary Fischer and Turner together in my head

[@leonardhpls6]

​@@blurglide wow your an idiot

[@cogboy302]

I aquired a nice GT BMX from a younger friend in England who was going to scrap it. It was mint, so I took it. I used to ride it to work. I'm 51. Didn't have a BMX as a kid, so I'm making up for it now.

[@Fatbikersrides]

These BMX bikes remind me of my 1984 Schwinn Predator, which I bought for $125. That was my favorite bike when I was little

[@Scummy_shovel]

Predator was my first real bmx bike. Loved that thing

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

I still have my 2000 schwinn predator trail frame. It's hanging up in my dad's garage since I cracked the frame when I was 14

[@motocraneguy17]

Watching Skills with Phil you’d never guess GT is a dormant company.

[@samholdsworth420]

One of my first BMX bikes was a GT fueler..

[@8NTURZ]

I have a few GT mtb’s from 96/97, a Zaskar, LTS 1, LTS, Avalanche… I loved the brand when I was coming up in the mtb world in the 90’s, and always love finding one to fix up now.

[@houseofsolomon2440]

I have a GT bmx stem on my 1x7 mountain/street bike (Reynolds 853 frame) - love the retro look 🤙🏼

[@ScotBreithaupt]

Gary is definitely a legend! I grew up with his family and always admired Gary's engineering knowledge. A brand you should cover is Alliant, it was a short lived masterpiece collaboration of Gary, Scot B Sr, and Mike Devitt.

[@floydblandston108]

I've got a prototype full suspension DS/4X frame that GT had developed the year they folded. Most folks don't remember, they were going to put Brian Lopes *and* Eric Carter on the same team. Got it as part of a 'mystery box' sold out of the old warehouse shut down when Doral bought GT.

[@sicmade]

I had a GT Robinson with powerlight handlebars, a 3 piece crank and all the goodies. Someone stole it some years back, man do I miss that bike.

[@philthy8150]

Loved all my GT’s wish I had them now. My entire childhood revolved around the freedom it gave me. Thanks Gary

[@emilioc700]

I worked there in the late 90's. Gary Turner built the first bikes but it was Richard Long who built the brand. He was a force of nature. The company lost its way when he died in a 1996 motorcycle accident. Some successes but it was never the same company. The buyout by Pon Holdings and merging of administrative space with Cervelo here in Socal could be a rebirth.

[@cesarricardolozanoleanez5026]

My first MTB was a 1992 Zaskar on aluminum finish, I love that bike, it was sturdy strong and very responsive drive. Ever since, I have GTs bikes. To me that company is innovative and quality. I'm thinking to buy a full suspension GT Force soon. Thanks for the video, it answered a long time question

[@mattpelon7182]

I road a gt Dyno back in the early 90s today I ride gt globetrotter frame 👌🏼

[@billymania11]

Back in the late 60's we had stingray-style bicycles with banana seats. I was a heavy kid and I broke the rear axle mounts regularly. The local welding shop treated me as a regular customer. What I remember most was the absolute freedom to go anywhere in town. My mom didn't have drive me anywhere. LOL!

[@bitgeist21]

I still have the GT Pantera I bought back in... '96? That thing is a classic and I'm never getting rid of it!

[@matthewbyrd398]

I had a GT Ricochet mtn bike in 1993 that I got personally signed by Hans “No Way” Rey when he was putting on a trials show with his GT bike. Hans led a group ride through the local trails after the show. It was great!! Gave the signed bike to my son last year, and he still has it.

[@ehosey2]

I still have my GT I-Drive XCR 3000 from 1999. The front and rear suspension has been upgraded to air fork and shock and a few parts upgraded as well. Such a great full suspension bike. Only bad thing is there was no way to properly upgrade the rear to disc brakes without some iffy adapter so it still has decent V-Brakes. That I-Drive system was the first and best version GT ever made. That was innovation.

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I loved the early GT innovations!

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

The first iteration of i-Drive was the best and most sophisticated, then cost cutting happened 😅

[@JohnGarkowski]

Ur the only person I ever heard to LIKE I drive.

[@biggkoz]

GT has been putting out 26 inch retro 89 style freestyle bikes for a few years now. I actually just got a 24 inch Dyno Voelker edition that I made a video for. So far its been a cool cruiser.

[@zaccaldwell]

My Pro Performer was my favorite bike back in the day. Now I’m riding a Gt 29in bmx bike and couldn’t be happier.

[@BradHarvey]

GT is making a come back through Divide Brand on the west coast with a modern race frame, will see them at local, state, and nationals throughout 2024

[@MikeSamuelsII-ve8gp]

I used to race cruiser class back in the day, loved my 26" frames from GT. Always thought they did some of the tidiest welds in the business. Still like their older mountain bikes and have a few in the collection.

[@chriswallace9113]

I always liked GT. My first freestyle bike was 1984 GT Pro Performer. I currently own 2 USA-made GTs. A 1984 GT Mini and a 1993 GT Pro.

[@ronh5148]

When I was a kid I dreamt about getting a GT, Redline or Mongoose but instead I got a Huffy Pro Thunder 4. It was heavy as hell but it was a tank. Put it through hell and it never broke. Still wish I had gotten a GT.

[@JointFive]

You still can. I'm 50 and still have a GT Proline I'm changing to a 24". IN Cali, many oldheads have SE 29ers, but the GT is a good big BMX option too. Not a Dicks bike, nor whT this guy talks about, bigger now than 10 yrs ago. Kids here have SE, GT, or Rad Power bikes

[@vestaxwax]

My first mountain bike was a GT Karakorum triptri. Thing was so heavy! Got aTrek OCLV next and loooooved going light

[@linoliumbadger]

I still have my '96 Zaskar. Love it, still ride it occasionally, I'll never sell it. When I was a kid, this was the bike to have. Really sorry GT don't make a high end bike anymore. If they ever make it back to what they were, I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

[@gillyboyNY]

Loved my 1987 GT pro freestyle tour.

[@SnappySnapfire]

My 9 year old loves his GT Slammer not a bad started bike for the parks and tracks. Looking for a PK Ripper but hard to find. I use to race a ELF and the GT Box series was a great bike.

[@TheCatsUnited]

I'm REALLY wanting to do more downhill mountain biking. I was a BMX kid in the 80s and 90s, riding Mongoose Expert and GT Performers, but I don't really know anything current about bikes. I've been considering getting one of GT's downhill mountain bikes. I don't know how good the are or whatever, but I'm going to guess that as a beginner I won't really notice a difference either way. This video has sort of convinced me to go for it, giving GT my money and "vote" for them. We'll see how that goes :)

[@jamesstewart3771]

When I was a kid , only rich kids had GT Bicycles . I get my first “brand “ bicycle when I was in 7th grade . I traded a DOD DESTORTION for a Torker 280 air frame and fork . Built the rest of it dumpster diving at the old International bike shop in Boca Raton , Fl . Got my first GT a couple of years ago . A performer 26 cruiser. It only took over 30 years to final get one .

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Between 1985-1995, I had Haro, Redline, Dyno, GT and Mongoose, Dennis McCoy riding for Mongoose was my hero. By 1997 I was only riding Matt Hoffman bikes exclusively for flatland freestyle. The quality of many of the aforementioned companies had declined by the late 90s.

[@rgw1380rw]

I purchased a 2018 Pro Performer when I noticed the online shops were selling them. Since it was clearly scantily clad, I went to swapping out parts to get it looking like what we'd be drooling over when passing a reputable bike shop as kids. The bike gets plenty compliments when I'm out and about, plus people have been asking if its for sale.

[@dougulrey6880]

I still have my 97 Karakorum Mtn bike! Great bike for being 26".

[@derektrieglaff9103]

I had a baby blue GT performer with pink and white graphics... with white and blue 150 spoke wheels.i loved that bike... just sucks that it was a pretty heavy bike in comparison to my buddys chrome Dyno VFR. But even though i had a GT, I REALLY wanted a peregrine ultra light. That was my holy grail that i never got to touch.

[@edwardjski]

It's hard to accept but it will never be like it was and (more importantly) it will never be like we remember it being... Times have changed. Whatever events brought about the particular situation that lead to the birth and life of BMX racing/freestyle, it'll never be the same. I don't think we'll ever see the same kind of momentum -birthed out of organic grass roots that characterized BMX and youth bicycling in the hey day. Everything is SO corporate these days -calculated and invested, controlled by boards... An organic, grass roots company today isn't grass roots or organic, its "boutique". And there's a difference. I feel like we live in an era where everything is "figured out". Everything is an affectation, done for style rather than fun.Maybe not EVERYthing... And maybe I'm old and just can't see cool stuff being done by "the kids" today. Regardless, excellent videos!

I have a vintage GT road bike that I don't think most people know ever existed. It is a GT Forte and it has a high quality titanium frame> Have never seen another one for sale. I was lucky enough to buy it as a used bike back around 2007 from a guy who I think used to work in a bike shop. He took really nice care of it and I am lucky to still own it even though it is a little big for me.

[@jiggygrand]

Just got into cycling and bought a GT Treveo w/o knowing a thing about the brand. It's my first REAL bike, not a Walmart or Target $75 dollar piece of trash, and I love it. It's fast compared to what I used to ride. Now I own a FELT aero which completely demolishes the GT but I still love my 1st real one. If they do make a serious comeback, I'll check em out!

I have a GT avalanche 2.0 that I never got rid of...My bud had one with newer suspension and we got back in the game 5 years ago to just get active . We went out and to the local "riding areas" we used to go 40lbs heaveir then in our prime....To be honest we had people come up to us with WAY better stuff come up to us and say "I had that bike!!!! And tell stories about their life in those times. Those guys that pushed those GT's back in the day could do WAY more than we could, and ever will....GT's will with that triangle frame and those Color coded Tires will always be my style. GT! Im fat, and past my prime but if you make a nice bike I can swing into on a workers pay I'll buy it, simply cause I rolled with you for soo long.

[@dre4011]

BMX is alive and well here in Richmond,Virginia.... All the guys my age (43) and younger are watching their kids have a go at it.... Richmond BMX is better funded and in better shape than the old classic former late 60s MX track we had back in the 80s & 90s... Powers BMX is the "Mothership" now... We've got Mtn.Bike trails and pump tracks and more "homemade tracks/jumps/trails" than I remember having way back in the early to mid 90s

[@_Panda_Cute_43]

i had a Titan. It was good. Strong slick looking. I was happy with it. Miss those days. Ate it when my 3 piece crank broke landing off a huge jump. The cranks were always the weakest part of the bike, not the frame

Hello? Have you never heard of GT’s Fury, Force and Sensor bikes (NOT sold at Dicks)? I’m still ripping around on my 2019 Sensor, why? Because it’s awesome. They’re great bikes, and it’s very surprising you’re so ignorant of that. Oh, BTW, Danny Hart (yes, that Danny Hart) is racing a GT Fury in the WC Downhills in ‘24.

[@OscarHawkes]

Agreed. really not sure how he isn't aware of any of that. Not to mention Brage Vestavik, who's been riding GT for a few years now.

I replaced it with a CANNONDALE SV800. I still have it but it was/is so exotic, I refuse to ride it in LA. It is pristine though and you have to have riding shoes.

I grew up with the GT brand and still have my 1986 GT properformer. I have owned up to 10 GT’s at one time. I also have a 2015 GT Helion. I hope they become a huge staple again in mtbing.

East coast here, I was always a Hutch fan. I hope GT finds there way home, I miss the 80's!

[@TBrown6589]

I still have my GT mountain bike I bought back in 1987.

[@mrk1075]

Yeah, GT BMX bikes were my favorite bikes back in the 80’s! 🙂

Back in 2001 I had a gt dyno mountain bike and it came with a speedometer

[@conleycrew76]

Rode GT mountain bikes from 93 to 99 a little heavier than others but could take a pounding.Just found a 95 aluminum pantera all original even tires and a rigid fork but had to put a period correct manitou front shock on it!

How can you talk about GT and not talk about the person who took their freestyle to a whole new level....the legend Eddie Fiola. I still have my 1885 Pro Performer, and I am 52 years old. !!! Great vid albeit leaving off Eddy. :)

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I tried to keep it mainly about Richard and Gary so the video was short. It was hard leaving Eddy out! The only reason I put Bob in there was because of the Dyno storyline. I could do a whole video on the GT riders!

[@fergusdenoon1255]

I had a mate who had the pro performer, he was so fast in that thing and its creaky crank.

[@secard4202]

I had a Performer, with the trispoke plastic rims. They wouldn't stop for anything.

[@DeadSkinMask32]

I had a GT back in 1980, and was a fun bike to ride, then I found Profile Racing, and never looked back. 18 years ago, stated collecting when I wanted to start riding with my kids. That turned into a pure sickness, lol.

Had a schwinn sting. Man I loved that bike!!
