Awesome! love all the 1987-1989 colors. Maui is a great color.

It was a 1987 GT Pro Performer in Maui blue that I saw when I moved to a new neighborhood as a kid. Fell in love at first site. Saved up all my money I could from paper routes and birthday gifts. Once I had all the cash my parents took me to the bike shop. The owner said to me, “what do you want to get”? I said “a GT PFT with Dyno pretzel bars and a Dyno drain pipe”. He said “great choice, what color do you want”? I said “Dayglo pink”. He paused and said back “I won’t sell a pink bike to a boy”. Chrome it was!

remember skyway tuff wheels??? those were the ones to have ..

Awesome! I hate that mine got stolen. It was replaced with a ‘93 PFTTM but it wasn’t the same. Loved that bike and I’m so glad I was able to locate another one thanks to the BMXMUEM.com

Mine was identical to this one too! I switched out the gt spoke rims with a set of 3 spoke gt mags. Mine had a different neck that was angled downward and different handlebars. They were GT but I'm not sure exactly what type etc. The original owner put them on the bike and thats how I got it. This was long before the internet and all I knew was I loved the bike and everything about it was perfect. I sold it to a local kid when I got older but I told him not to butcher it and that if something went wrong with it to let me know and I'd buy it back because he was not going to find the parts to fix it right and nothing off regular run of the mill bikes would work. One day I happened by his house and seen that he'd totally gutted the bike and it was in pieces under his porch. I gathered up everything there and bought it back from him for more than I should have but I was glad to have it back. I planned on restoring it to its former glory with the original GT parts and getting back to exactly like it was. I thought hell maybe some day ill give it to my son. Sadly, this was not to be however. In a final act of injustice my step dad threw it away along with some other bikes and parts I had in storage at my moms while I was working out of state. I was so pissed but they didn't know any better, it was spring cleaning when the town comes and collects all the shit people don't want anymore. When I got home I went to where all the junk was and picked through it trying to find her but she was gone. For awhile she was mine though.

@George Barrios; Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it. Check out my other videos of the PFT Team Models I have. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting. It is definitely my favorite one.

Joel Young bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=799304 There is the thread that shows what I did.

@Tyler Phoenix - Yeah but a Ferrari is always a Ferrari no? I agree these were the best BITD....top shelf all the way. Thanks is for commenting.

I still ride it on occasion. Works like the day I bought it.

Not going to ask don’t worry, lol. First of all that’s your pride and joy, second I’m a GT guy and C) I couldn’t afford it. Peregrine HP super pros were the top shelf! A few years ago I picked up Haro Lineage hoops I’m chrome and laced up restored peregrine hubs. Decal on the hoop had to have the holes altered slightly but it came out super nice for another build. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks!

Thanks

Hey thanks for the compliment! I had mine replaced with a ‘92 PFT TM in chrome but it just wasn’t the same.

Three spoke mags? They came with Tomahawks from the factory in ‘88-‘91. They are 6 spoke.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching and the comments. I’ll check your video out too.

i remember using my sisters hairspray to put on od mushroom grips.....worked good..lol

The frame set, bars and seat post were purchased from a survivor and it was reasonable at the time. That was 4 years ago so the prices had not gone ludicrous yet. I sold most of the parts that were not from a team model and it helped offset the costs a bit. The fact that this is in such great condition means it was well taken care of. It meant so much to me to build it back to the way I had my bike BITD. Only difference was I had 1 pc cranks and Peregrine 48’s. The feeling of holding the grips of the Dyno bars while sitting on the drain pipe laid back position made goose bumps on my arm. My original is long gone but this one stays with me now!

Shorty pegs were nice. Seems like they all get stolen, it’s horrible. Happened to my son too. His 2019 Cult Devotion was stolen but he tracked it down and reposed it. People suck. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Riding but not doing tricks. Don’t need any broken ankles😉 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Don Carter hey I got the parts for my bike all over the world. The BMXMUSEUM mostly from sales and then private negotiations. I also used Evilbay but for the most part this ‘88 was a survivor so the majority of the work was done.

Thank you bro👍

Just start hunting them down on Craigslist, offerup, ebay, BMXMUSEUM, Facebook market place. There is people selling GT part everywhere but they have gotten really pricy.🙈🤣

Ukai speedline hook end. 20 x 1.75. They should just be hook end without the grooves like a 7L but I used them because of their condition. Speedlines were used mostly on the racing bikes.

No....we are heavier than when we were 10-14

Yes the cap was 3D printed but not by me. I purchased it off Evilbay years ago. If you find me on the BMXMUSEUM I can lead you to the person who made them. Perhaps they can assist you. Atrains89

Not with them tires! Those are NOS. I ride my 2018 26” GT pro performer.

What is the serial number?

I can tell you based on the serial number (should be on the rear drop out) and the style of decals and peripheral accessories used like the grips, seat and stem.

@@atrains KG1H2907 I think the 1 might be an I as in Island or a #1 not sure

@@trbjdm_9893 KG1H2907 K for the factory. G for the production line. 1 for the year or 1991. H for the 8th month or August. The rest of the numbers are production sequence. This was made in the orient. Chances are this was not a Pro Freestyle Tour Team Model as they were almost always made in the USA between 1987-1993.

@@atrains so mine is a 1991 ?

That’s was my neighbors truck.

36 spoke GT Superlace generation 1 laced to UKAI hoops. Thanks for watching.

In chrome?

Yes was sweet miss it

@@jeff5281 1987 chrome was rare….very cool! Check out my other video you will find it! 1987 GT PRO FREESTYLE TOUR TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMCTasmKtpiacZc.html Enjoy! Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@atrains did not kno it was rare way cool totally tubular. Crew Jones was my hero at that time RAD was the best movie ever BMX bandits was pretty cool also

newlifebatters oh yeah I’ve seen your videos. Showed my wife your winged logo tattoo....this guy is all in! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

@@atrains it's all love my man, your bike is sick.. I have something I aas m working on. I need some time but i am sure you will love it. Keep on keeping on my man. Again love your bike,

newlifebatters Are you on the BMXMuseum? Look me up over there, Atrains89.

I have an ‘87 PFT TM in DGP, ‘88 survivor blue TM, a project ‘89 TM (which is really an ‘88 by serial #) and the chrome PFT TM. Oh and a 2018 PP 26” Pro Performer. I made Power Series replacement spindle bolts too. Check out my other videos.

@@atrains I am. Iam southphillybmx on there. I will look you up later on..

“New old stock” - brand new basically

@@atrains ah! Thanks.

Nope that’s not how it went down. I did paper routes, leaf clean up, snow shoveling, cut grass, etc I saved up about $350 in 1987. My parents who I love with all my heart gave me $100 for Christmas. I missed my chance to get a new 1987 from the bike shop but nailed the ‘88. I think it was $460 including the Dyno bars and drain pipe.
