Guys let's get 1K likes on this comment and we can get Phu to barspin on video..

I still have my 87 pro freestyle tour from when i was a kid. I worked so hard to put that bike together.

I bought a mongoose decade that Phu actually told me to cop after asking him if it was worth it. Has some wear on the frame .. but all original besides the tires. Having the og mags vapor blasted, If they don’t come out clean as I’d like I’m grabbing mags.. put some white kenda 55s on the wheels, clean the piss out of the frame an redecal it. And replace all the cables, bearings, brake pads and it’ll have a clean rot rod type look. Iv got a cpl bikes to finish before it but it’ll get there. Thank you for all the help Phu ur the man!!

more riding on these classics. I want to hear how they compare to modern bikes. Is the nostalgia worth the price of admission......for most people my age, yes lol

The earliest I've ever been to an upload, I absolutely LOVE the old school vids. You guys should have entries for viewers bikes to be showcased in videos!

11/87 is a 88 technically,from October-December its technically the year after. I thought it had a axion 990 brake for a sec. Please find a original sr mallet stem for that bike! .They are 100 bux cheaper than they used to be,too bad i sold my extra one. It has a 86 decal on it but id probably leave it since its an og decal for history,and it has a aluminum cheese grader that looks restored maybe. Please update us more on this bike. Cheerz!! These are my fav bikes,ima go ride my 87 PFT now too btw,good timing.🤣👍

Phu is killing it! Barspins is all we need (besides the BMXmuseum project)!

Love that bike. I have 3 of those in that color. I would keep it as a survivor and for sure clean up that rust before it gets worse. If your gonna ride it I’d change the seat and tires for sure. My first real Bmx bike was an 87 gt pro freestyle tour.

I found Phu on Bmx Museum yesterday. The countertops were the giveaway.

I love survivor bikes, restored bikes look fantastic. There is definitely need for both. If you want to keep a survivor. Acid bath to remove rust, then clear coat it to preserve that patina!

That is such a nice gt! 😊 damn phu does still have some skills 😂❤

The GT 87 and 88 PFT and PP frame/fork are identical and have the bottom mounted 990 brake posts. Of these two the 87 frames are the most sought after and bring in big money. 💰

Phu really needs to donate this ultra cool bicycle to me so that I can recondition it to ride with some fork standers and lots of stickers.

That could be an 88 since it’s built so late in ‘87, but someone put the 86 Pro Freestyle Tour decals on the downtube… The cheese grater chainring actually started out on the 86 Regular Performer and Dyno Compe I as a replacement for old cross in circle Redline type chainrings… so, by late 86 (in some bike shops) the cheese grater started to be seen on Taiwanese built GT/Dyno models (Performer and Compe I)

WhenI was 13 this was my dream bike

We’re going to be announcing the frame we’ll be looking into in the next video, and then we’ll host the raffle on epicbmx.myshopify.com

❤❤gotta love these

Raffle sounds a great idea !

Love my 87 PFT

Im loving the content , all the way from South Africa .

Interesting as the serial number is 11/87 making it a very late ‘87. Since it’s Maui blue (GT Blue) it could only be 1987 based on the double bend or S-bend frame. Things I noticed are the seat post is not original. The seat is a viscount 2188 not a 2123. Which you pointed out it was not original. Fun fact: 1987 was the only year GT used the 2123 seat. Downtube sticker is from 1986, not ‘87. Fork is from a Performer but appears to be Dayglo which is interesting. Gyro cables would look better if they were Porkchop and all White or at least Odyssey cables. Need to get some LP5 GT tires on that bike.

Ahh the memories.

Bad ass find

I bought one of those for 25 dollars in 1999 and a month later someone stole it from my back yard.

You could put that as the 1st in the raffle without even touching it!

Thats the exact same gt i sold in tucson az

This is the content here baby.

Cool heavy old man bike😂🤣

I like the old look and I like them painted too ...idk hard decision

Put clear coat over all pant protect all the rust spots

Definitely leave the character

I would at least clear coat it to keep it from rusting more.

I love the GT mags but no real pro or semi-pro or real BMXer drove them at the time this bike was built...it was already the Super Pro High Pressure 48 Spoke time

I like your bike.n and videos

I have one in near mint all original & I have had a few people trying to buy it from me. Mine has the lower frame mounted brakes but they are mounted differently?

If you guys could help me please, I have a couple questions.. I just bought a 1980 schwinn sx-2000 I believe the bike is completely original like a survivor. Only grips have been changed to Oakley 3’s. Tires appear to be OG but front scrambler seems a bit hard/ dry and started slightly cracking/ bulging. Very light surface rust on bars. What would you guys do? Removes rust and preserve it? Leave it as is? Or Change tires have it serviced and ride it??

I like the rat rod look on the bike…it has its characteristics on full display like Phu Hopefully the raffle is not tied to IG, then snap, then Twitter, then screenshot to win lol

Dont let the frame get rust holes!!

I agree definitely sacrilegious doing that to those bikes😢

Unless more than half the paint is gone on an origibal like that id leave it. Its cool and the only reason to pain would be to sell as a resto and youll probably never recoop your cost in it. These bikes the highly sought after bikes all have original paint and in NOS condition. Its crazy what people want for a resto and its not even original paint.

Got any cornroll gee tee

How do we match bike paint?

Dude WTF 🤬 why is that bike so rusted..... don't you live in Cali. P.S. I do know it also snows alot in Cali but you videos have palm 🌴 trees in your video's. Was that bike shipped from the Midwest to you lol. I still like the bike though considering it is a beautiful😍piece of HISTORY and it would fit in perfectly in Northern Ohio💯😃with my little stable of bikes and keep the videos coming👍.

❤

Ride it like it is! Just make it functional. Just clean it up with soap and water and use it.

You need a online store.

Alf should go mtb with me and the gang in az🌵

I have a black star rims

86 decals on a Pro Performer

Would restore it

Leave it like that and throw a pad set on there

That pour GT 😢😢😢 please please paint that bike a bring her back to its beautiful color 🆘 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘........the history is already there its a PFT ....

i see slightly bent toptube

Redline forks

Save the 87 thru 89 Pro Performers!! Stop turning them into pro freestyle tours!!

That bike was 600

Restoring is boring.......never, ever touch that paint.

I had that bike in 87. Cool bike but the guy is annoying as hell .

Still not a lowrider

Power loyalty and respect Fresno CA Mbomb

I’m coming through soon to pick up a bike be cool to meet y’all big dawgs 💯🫱🏽‍🫲🏾
