@Brandon Duhon, I know the feeling of all my friends owning GTs and Mongooses and us not having enough money to fork out 600 bucks for one of these. Eventually my dad found a way to get me a decent bike but we still couldn't afford the GT Pro Performer so I ended up getting a General which itself was a great bike. Only to have it stolen a year later. I still haven't gotten over that :O(

What a video and a bike collection! It made me feel all pump by seen all those old models. I am from Tepic Nayarit, Mexico, small town where it was extremely hard to find these kind of bikes, even just to get the BMX magazine, thats how my friends and I knew about those bikes. In my case I saved every single penny that I could to get and used GT pro series frame, until now i remember that bike like it was yesterday, but in 1995 i had to sell it to be able to continue school, so I totally miss that bike, and now I saw your collection and you don't have idea on how cool made me feel.

Sweet collection. I bought a mongoose Californian for 9 bux at a garage sale about 9 yrs ago with a hutch neck. At the time i didnt realize what the market was for these bikes. I also have a chrome Vector M4 with all original parts im restoring now- Tuff 2's with metal flange, Redline STR Series Bars Tuf neck, dia comp brakes, Kash seat, that was/is my original bike from 1982. I had a chrome thruster tribar back then which was the absolute sweetest bike in the world - I traded my YZ 80 for the thruster! Then after about 1 month it was was stolen from my front porch- Ugg.. I bought the vector with the ins money my parents filed for. I still cant get over that bike being stolen! Anyway- great vid and nice collection.

@Eric Kelly.. And that is exactly why I STILL modify and customize my cars to this very day.. It all started with my BMX bike! There was no way in hell, that my parents were spending $300-$400+ on a bicycle for me, so my Dad took me to Caldor's (Target equivalent) and bought me a Huffy Stu Thompson for my birthday. We had a Schwinn bike shop a few blocks away, and I lived in that store, and gave them all my little bit of money. By the time I was done with my Huffy, I could've bought a Mongoose or something outright.. My Huffy was chrome, I bought white Skyway Tuff II wheels, white Dia Comp rear brakes, white Tuff Neck stem, white Zeronine number plate, CW Racing handlebar and laid back seatpost, black and white ODI Mushroom grips, Bear Trap pedals, I had a chrome and white chain, don't remember what seat I had on it. The worst day in my young life came, when after buying pizza up the block (I lived in the Bronx) I rode back down to my house, put the bike in my yard to go inside and eat my slice of pizza, and someone came in the yard and stole my damn bike, never to be seen again! 😥 A freestyle Kuwahara was definitely on my radar, but I started driving cars, and I got too tall for BMX bikes, so I had to let my BMX dreams fade away.. Until I got into Mountain Bikes! LOL

You made me miss my BMX bike after watching your video. I had a chrome DG, with blue tuff wheels (I think that’s what they were called), blue fluted alloy handlebars, seat stem, so the chrome really popped. I begged my Mom for Christmas, I remember it cost around $300 in 1979. I polished the hell out of that chrome, wish I would’ve kept it.

You got some sweet bikes! I had that old three wheeler when I was a kid, lol. I'm currently building a 1982 Schwinn Predator, hunting for some forks, but I just picked up a 1995 Haro Group 1 CI. It's almost complete and original, didn't come with the stem or the sprocket, but luck would have it, my 1989 GT Performer had the stock Fusion sprocket and cranks on it. Now I have to get the factory ones for the GT, or something higher end, lol. I'd like to have a room in a house just dedicated to park these in, next to my 1995 Redline PL24 and my 1999 Schwinn Pro Stock Team 24, and any other ones I can find along the way. Thanks for the tour, I appreciate it.

I had the yellow ones. Sadly, I had a cheap Huffy that weighed probably 30 pounds or better so I was always trying to get the cool parts. Araya rims, SR pedals, DK stem, Comp 3 tires, Dia Comp brakes. It was a struggle to get that bike decent. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
