Justin, cool thanks for confirming that. 1989 Dyno catalog also shows no 990 mounts but many of the bikes came with 990 mounts as you know. I wonder if these non 990 mount frames were early 1989 or late ‘88 serial numbers. I bet this was generally caused by the availability of the DC990 and Axiom 767.

Though I was very content with the dependability and functionality of the Gyro on my upgraded freestyle bikes (87 ProPerformer and 88 Dyno Detour), I was always impressed by the look of the SpinTech on the 87 Dyno ProCompe. Was not a big fan of the ACS rotor. Just my opinion, but it wasn’t as aesthetically pleasing when compared to the Gyro or SpinTech.

Good video! We need more like it. Those catalog errors sure make things difficult. Your video starts off with the 1986 catalog but it would be great if you could look at earlier years. The video mentions next year models being available the previous year (like cars). I had a Mach One that I got Christmas 84, but it was an 84 model (which was the first year). The 85 had several component changes. I know mostly how mine came equipped but sometimes I look for a few minor details that I just can't remember, but considering the catalog discrepancies, it's difficult. And my photos from back then aren't good enough quality to tell. I also think GT (and all companies) would just occasionally use different parts (and slight design differences), depending on supply issues, especially since other companies made many of the components a bike company used, even if it was branded with the bike companies name. I also noticed some of the GT bikes at bmxmuseum seem to be labeled the wrong year. Perhaps people assumed that their bike was the model year of the year they bought it. Or perhaps it was just because GT equipped them differently even for the same year. Of course the owner(s) could have swapped parts too.

@@jbw9999 yes this is a huge problem for many people because they see the serial number like 1087xxxxx and assume it’s a 1987 and was a 1987 model. I have a 1087 PFTTM that is 100% a 1988 by color, decals, parts used etc. That is going to be an upcoming video. As for the pre 1986 catalogs.

Any help would be great thanks
@atrains Ай бұрын
G5L1 G for the production line. 5 for the year 1985. L for the 12th month or December. This was made in Japan. Very late ‘85 most likely set up as a 1986.

@atrains ok great thanks for the info, would you speculate ? where does this bike stand as far as if it is true. and I believe it is all og paint and decals as an original set plus having pro world stickers , this would throw a wrench in the facts we know, as a whole ..... I'm just learning as I go and if this may become an oddity. Case in the end it may help you as well, but again it's japan and I'm not sure the higher end models were. Produced there as you agree, or could this be actually what it shows, 🤔 I do appreciate your thoughts and time
@atrains Ай бұрын
I think you wanted this comment in the FS stamp video not the catalog differences video, but originally you said the bike had a made in Taiwan sticker on it. Yet the serial number points to Japan. So can you clarify you have a made in Taiwan decal on a frame with a serial number pointing to a Japanese factory. As for the statement I made on the FS stamp meaning video that all the high end bikes like the PFT, TM and such were made in the USA while the lower end bikes were all made in the orient. The inference is that you need to apply the all numerical serial number to the frame. All numerical (except with GTxxxx) is USA made. Yes, there are some PP, PWT/PFT that were made in the orient, it’s not that every single one was USA made but starting in 1987 things changed as GT had their Huntington Beach CA factory humming and producing a lot of the higher end products. I hope this helps.

@atrains Ай бұрын
In addition to this video a fellow GT owner presented a photo of his early 1989 Aggressor that had the FS stamp instead of the A. Now there are two possible reasons for this; 1) factory error grabbing the wrong dropout when welding. 2) GT was very confused about the aggressor in the beginning and some photos of it in ads show it with PFT decals. Another ad has no decals at all. Regardless GT might have considered it freestyle at first before making the change to Aggressor model abbreviation. What it does mean and proves is that Gary misspoke in the video. We all can agree that 1989 Aggressors were USA built being prototypes at that moment in time. So FS being stamped contradicts Gary’s FS = made overseas answer he gave.

Holy CRAP!!! I own that exact bike in that same color!! 1988 GT Pro Freestyle Tour in electric blue with sealed mechanism mags! I found mine at Russel’s Bike Shop in Downey, CA in June, 1990, just about a month after my ‘87 Pro Performer was stolen. I still have it. Mine is in about 90% survivor condition with nearly all original parts. It came with those exact cranks, but there was a problem and the bike shop had to swap them out. There wasn’t enough thread, and the lock nut kept popping off and falling down to the pedal. The shop replaced them with newer GT Power Series 1-piece crank arms which have the logo dry-transferred in black letters similar to the 3-piece cranks. Also, I hated that stem. In ‘92 I finally found an original 1985 stamped GT block stem in white with a Potts-mod hollow bolt. My mom bought it for me ($35), and I had Bellflower Bikes install it. Unfortunately, when they did that, they also replaced the lower cable with the new, longer Gyro cable, which I never liked. I still have the original cable in my parts collection, and I know the dual cables are 4” long. I was always happy with the newly installed block stem. I thought this was the correct stem for ‘88 because that’s how the bikes are equipped in the ‘88 catalog. Not until the internet came along did I slowly realize that the new, inverted GT stem (which doesn’t appear in the catalog until ‘89) actually was factory original for ‘88. I still have the factory inverted stem and plastic cap which came with the bike, although the shaft is bent forward. The shaft on the block stem is perfect. In ‘92, when I started 9th grade, I very badly wanted to add GT Superlace wheels. These were still being sold at that time, but I couldn’t find any with the original GT hub logo. Even though they were 36-spoke hubs, they were being provided with the new GT sleek logo hub sticker of the ‘90s. I was never satisfied with this, so I ended up never buying them. I replaced the tires twice and the grips once, but I always bought the correct ones. The correct tires are the GT 20x1.75” low-profile tread, and they are all white. My last set of tires came from Albe’s mail order, which I installed before I retired the bike and switched to a ‘94 Pro Freestyle Tour Team Model, which I also still have (in pieces). The 990 is not the correct U-brake for ‘88. GT Pro Freestyle Tours, Pro Performers and Dyno Pro Comps came with a thicker U-brake from Axiom, which I bet is difficult to find today. The 990 is the better brake, though, because it offers better brake pad adjustability. My bike also has Odyssey RX-3 levers and a Dia-Compe 883 Nippon in the front. My powder coat is factory original, and is in excellent condition with no fading. My mags are pretty yellow, and so are some areas of the cable housings. The correct pegs are the first generation GT steel pegs, which go in the rear with the frame standers. The alloy pegs you have are correct for ‘87; my Pro Performer had those. My bike came with black, sealed cartridge bottom bracket bearings just like those, so I believe those are correct. 👍 Thank you for uploading your video! Stay rad! 🤙
@atrains 2 ай бұрын
Hey bud that was a lot to unpack. Well I’m glad you liked it! As for the 990 being the incorrect u brake for 1988, that is not true. GT used the DC990 and the Axiom 767 brake through 1988-1989. When the DC990 came out in 1986 and GT started using them in 1987, many other bikes started as well, like Haro. There was a shortage of DC990 and GT needed to fill a void. The Axiom was used on the Pro Performer, PFT and the TM in 1988 but not all of them got it. I have a survivor PFTTM ‘88 that had it. I had a ‘88 PFT new when I was young that had it as well. But there are specimens out there with the DC990 from the factory.
@corrioliseffect Ай бұрын
@@atrains Hey that's really interesting. I never saw an '88 GT or Dyno equipped with a 990, but I have always wondered why the Axiom was used. I used to like the Axiom better as a kid due to it's thicker, more visible look. It wasn't until my flatland days in the '90s when I realized that the 990 is really the better system. I'd really like to know why in the '89 catalog, both Pro Freestyle Tours are equipped with Nippons in the rear. I've only learned recently through seeing people's bikes on KZfaq that the actual '89 Pro Freestyle Tours came with the same chain stay mounted U-brake system with the cable through the down-tube as it was on '87, '88 and '90.
