Nice!! What are the rim build specs?? I have my original R.L. Edges Wheels, bought from Rockville BMX back in '87...Braking was always difficult and the shoes never locked up...I always cleaned the edge rim wall with simple green...Never snapped the center bolt on my Nippons.
1.The rims are 20' Odyssey Hazard Lite's (36H) 2. The spokes are custom cut DT Swiss'. I may still have the exact lengths written down at home🤔. 3. The front hub is a low flanged Novatec "Rebel" Hub. (3/8th hollow axle) 4. The rear Hub is an Odyssey "Clutch" V2 Freecoaster. (14mm hollow axle) My brakes run pretty good, but will loudly squeal on occasion. When the squealing starts, I clean any excess dirt or rubber traces from the braking surface with rubbing alcohol. Is/was Rockville BMX located in Rockville Center Long Island?
@@rgw1380rw They were in Maryland....Spike Jonze began his adventures there...Met him numerous times at AFA and SOCKO events...and I was part of his underground 'zine' Club Homeboy, 'Blatent Lofter of JIve'...still have my badge. Thank you for the specs!
@@1fiddysquiddy386 😏👍Cool! I was thinking about building a hybrid Haro, Odyssey, GT bike in the future. Someone who parks his Bimers up the block from me told me that when I decide to sell the GT, he'll take it off my hands for a very nice price.
@@1fiddysquiddy386 Will you be posting the finished product? My favorites are the 87-89 Pro Freestyle Tour. From the age of 7-9, I was drooling over that dayglo pink😂! I also wish the GT Show would just fall into my lap. As far as the Show goes, I'd turn that thing into a powdered, chromed out, and sticker bombed masterpiece on 48 spoked wheels.
The name "Jest" sounds familiar🤔? I think he had a very distinct "J" in his tag, and it was similar to a reversed lowercase "t" with a bit of style. I was thinking about building a hybrid freestyle/flatland bike in the near future. I wanted a Haro Bashguard Master, GT, Odyssey setup. It's going to cost me a nice grip, but anything retro/reissued retro will cost nowadays. Many of us did ourselves a serious disservice by throwing out our top of the line freestyle bikes from back in the day. Those things can sell for over a grand to guys who want the original bike from the 80's - early 2,000's. Some dedicated collectors have about 20 grand in old/mid school freestyle bikes in their collection. A fully restored 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour, or a fully restored GT Show are my dream bikes☝️😍!
@@rgw1380rw The one bike I always wish i never traded for was my Hutch Trickstar. Those things are selling for maaaad $. Jest did a lot of work back in the mid 90's. I think he had a piece in 5 pointz.
@@jimmynickelz Even the reissued Trick Star will cost you a bit of cash. I just wish Heritage would reissue those dope GT Tomahawk mags we all would be going crazy over. Heritage is the company that now owns the GT/Dyno brand. You remember when your own homeboy might steal your bike back in the day? People always wonder why I never lay my bike outside any store in 2020😂! When you possibly had to fight for your bike in your youth, you take extra precautions with certain things because you learned to be overprotective of something as simple as a bike. My current bike gets plenty attention from guys in my age group, plus the younger guys that most likely have fathers and uncles that were buying or stealing them in the 80's and 90's.
Thanks! I haven't posted it with the pink Odyssey pedals, or the Odyssey headset I was waiting for around the time I posted the video. The compression cap on the stem is also pink now.
@@Seraphim_skateboards I noticed a new crank and stem in another one of your posted videos. As for me, I hadn't gotten into the trick riding because I didn't live around people that were into really pulling stunts. The GT was just the preferred brand for guys that are in my age group back in the late 80's through the early 2,000's. There was an older guy that would fix bikes in my former neighborhood, but I couldn't really go across the street because of my age back then. I would see him doing what I later found out was early flatland riding, and did like how he'd do all that he was doing. If I had to pick a skill that I'd like to learn, it definitely would be flatland riding. It's like those guys are break dancing with a bike☝😀! There are some guys that occasionally come to my current neighborhood in Jamaica NYC to do their street riding in the park across the street, then post the footage here on YT. Their names are Anthony Panza, Rusty, and Stephon. Rusty actually lives in my neighborhood.

@@wesleyalan9179 I'm just an 80's baby that grew up in the era of the trippy looking freestyle or flatland bikes of the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.

Playing sports was something I just couldn't do without having an attack. Beside a bit of drawing, my thing was watching BMX stuff. Although I'd love to meet a set of guys that could assist me with learning a few basic Flatland tricks, keeping a dope bike has always been a must for me. I somehow grew out of being severely asthmatic, but I don't watch any sports till this day. When I'm around sports enthusiasts that are speaking of/watching a game, this is my usual expression 🙄🤔🤨.

Yes. I purchased it two years ago, but am thinking about giving it to my nephew because he doesn't have a bike. He's into playing XBOX games🧒🏿🎮📺. However it goes, I'm going to piece together another bike in the future.
Currently, that "junk" you're talking about ran me $1,400 to get it looking like I want it to look. Trust me when I tell you that I've had plenty of offers made from those who want to purchase it from me, pictures taken from random people who I run into, plenty big ups from people on a daily basis, plus a thumbs up from Anthony Panza when he spotted me in NYC. In this form, I still got those compliments, but it looks a bit different nowadays. When someone who owns an Alpina offers you more than what you paid for your bike, let me know, my friend. In other words, the majority opinion rules 😂!
Ever since your father gave me my first freestyle bike in the very early 90's, I try to keep something nice around. He gave me a red Dyno, and I said to hell with that Huffy I had at the time.
