- Here's a tour of my 2021 GT Pro Performer Heritage bike, which is a reissue of the 1986 GT Pro Performer, along with some of my thoughts on it, and details on the upgrades I've made to it.
I bought it from Albe’s (www.albes.com) in July 2020 at the (then) MSRP of $675 USD. These are still really hard to find as of November 2020 due to the pandemic causing big delays in production. I believe more are being released around March 2021.
I could've gone into more detail in some areas, so if you want more info on anything, let me know and I'll reply or maybe I'll make a follow-up video.

Thanks so much!
Hey Chris, enjoyed the video. Read all the comments. Good stuff👍 quick story, was into BMX in the late 80's early 90's. Had a 88 haro group1b. 1990 or 91 gt performer in white. Frame cracked on the haro so I replaced the frame with a 91' ELF. Still have that bike now. Recently watched Rad. Started looking up vintage bmx online and am getting back into it. Came across your video and then I was searching for the 2021 pro performer like yours. It must have been my lucky day but I believe I scored one on Dan's comp website. I was able to add to cart and pay for it. Got shipping info for it and am hoping it shows up.
That's really awesome! Congrats on landing a new GT! Great to hear about your OG bikes too. Etnies has some new Rad clothing and shoes: www.etnies.com/us/collections/rad/
Looks badass Chris!
Glad you like it! It's so great that these reissue bikes exist. Hope availability gets better so more people can get their hands on them.
@@ChrisWong13 Yea all mine are oldschool. I think you see my pics on Instagram.
@@THESICKSILVERADO Yup. Absolutely. 👍 Maybe one day I'll restore an old school bike.
MCS makes a chromoly seatpost (Dan's Comp) with a tapered top, so you can run a classic plastic seat (Velo is nice) and dial your quickspin.
Yeah, I still like to setup my flatland bikes for quick spins and side glides. I should switch to a classic railed seat. 👍
Love the locking brake levers!
Probably the only things I'll change on mine, so the bike will stay put when I lean it on something.
Yeah, it'd be weird for me to not have them... 😁
@@ChrisWong13, I couldn't have been more wrong about the direction I went with the bike.
The only stock parts I have left are the chain, bottom bracket, cranks and a few bolts.
@@TheDwightMamba Cool! It's always cool to do something different than just leaving it stock. I'd recommend changing the chain to the Shadow Conspiracy Interlock V2. That's what I have now. The stock half link KMC chain is backwards and if you try to put it on the right way it makes a grinding noise.
@@ChrisWong13 I have since come to the realization that I'm replacing everything but the cranks, bars and forks. All neo-chrome hardware on the way.
SO nice
Thanks! It’s a great bike. 🤙
Dope as all Hell. I was looking online lil hard to find also about 8 bills. I’m saving! Right On great 👍 Vid
Thanks, man. These are scarce because of the pandemic. You might be able to place a pre-order at a bike shop. I picked this up from Albe's in July. Dan's Comp has this and some other GTs for back-order. www.danscomp.com/gt-2021-pro-performer-20-bmx-bike-20.75-toptube-white-g43301u10os/p1224122
@@ChrisWong13 I got my 2018 from Albe's as well. The 2018 was a bit scantily clad, but I was going to customize it a bit anyway. I'm eventually going to hunt down a Terry Adams "Bayou" handlebar because I want a different style bar for my bike. Since I like my current color scheme, I'm trying to find the exact stock tires it came with. Other than coming with the stock 2018, It seems like that specific blue wall LP 5 is non existent☝😂!
@@rgw1380rw Chrome is always classic. I’ve seen a couple show up on eBay recently. Yeah, I haven’t seen the blue wall tires anywhere. You might have to buy another bike to get them... 😜
@@ChrisWong13 It looks like that's the only way I can maintain my colorway in the near future🤦🏿♂️.
Nice Bike:)
Thanks, man!
Okay it’s on the GTBicycle that’s how I got my white GT pro performer
Thanks for the overview I've been keeping my eye on them for a while, or I should say since GT's site put them up, and I know like you have in your description they're hard to come by now, so I've been checking a bunch of websites pretty much daily. I've always ridden GT's, and my very first GT was a 1986 world tour in white that I got for Christmas in '86. It pretty much looked exactly like how these come. So once somebody gets it in stock I'm scooping one up immediately. For now I have a 1986 pro freestyle tour survivor that is my daily driver, and yes I do use it as intended with the tricks I've learned since I started back in '86, but I really want to get a modern version of it, and this is perfect.
That's awesome to hear. I had a 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour in white back when, hopefully a Heritage model of the 1987-1989 PFT is released at some point. I just loved the S down tube. Dan's Comp has this bike available for back order, hopefully you can land one: www.danscomp.com/gt-2021-pro-performer-20-bmx-bike-20.75-toptube-white-g43301u10os/p1224122
@@ChrisWong13 yeah I already tried Dan's and when I clicked to back order it it says it's unavailable at the back order at this time. I just keep checking I have I think four or five sites bookmarked right to that bike. LoL. EDIT- just an update on Dan's site now when I click add to cart it says it added it but it never shows up. So something still messy with it.
@@BobbyPhoenix Ah, that sucks. Another thing that might help is following bike shops on Instagram and turning on post notifications. That's how I was able to jump on it when Albe's got them in.
They only make a couple. I think you're going to have to find someone willing to sell theirs to you.
@@balthazarbratt8194 Dan's Comp got their first shipment in yesterday if anyone is looking to pick one up.
nice ride 💯💯👍👍
Thanks! This wound up being my go-to flatland bike. 🤙
@@ChrisWong13 💯💯👍👍🤛🤛 I agree GT Performer's are nice for flatland I ride a 2007 GT
@@bakdogg Very cool! 💪
I had one just like this in the late 80's, except it had mags......same color, had the pink one too
That's really awesome to hear! The availability of these 2021 Pro Performers has gotten a little better in the last couple of months. You should try to pick one up. 👍
Well, after reading the info a bout it, it's pretty heavy. And after looking into the specs and the design style of the frame itself , as I said in my earlier post , just like the era that it was inspired from, it's great for Flatland, but I wouldn't take it to the skatepark. And if I got it maybe good for casual street riding too . I just got my Soundwave, and that bike wasn't cheap, so I might wait till next year and pick this bad boy up. This is a beautiful bike for sure congrats
Thanks.
I have the haro 2019 Haro master bashguard and the yellow gt heritage. The Haro is better made
@@balthazarbratt8194 Yup, totally agree. Haro Lineage bikes are a big step up in quality.
@@balthazarbratt8194 And the Lineage forks are insane quality, with forged dropouts, tapered tubes, and internal brake cable routing.
I have a 2018 in chrome with dual brakes and aftermarket forks (stock didn't have brakes bosses then). Mine weighs in at a bit over 24.5 pounds. How? Ditch the stock tires and tubes, they weigh a tonne . Replace with some nice modern kevlar tires and lite tubes. Aftermarket alloy seatpost, longer than stock, almost double, yet half the weight. Lastly I have a super lite plastic mesh style seat that you might see on a MTB, but fits on a bmx post. Simple cheap mods, made it much nicer to ride IMO.
Absolutely love it if they bring it out in chrome or buy one tomorrow
Yeah, chrome is classic. I always wanted a chrome bike, but never got one.
Actually, I think the 2018 Pro Performer was chrome, with blue accents... bmxmuseum.com/bikes/gt_bicycles/110823
already done. It was the first year of the re-release in 2018. I have one. Nice bike, but it got expensive buying forks and a full front brake setup and gyro. Stock it had no brake bosses on the fork, no gyro, only a rear brake, which I replaced anyway. Put some nice blue cnc brakes on, blue stem and a black gyro with dual cable setup for the rear brake. Think it called a London mod.Locking dia-compe tech77 levers too.
Chris, did you change out the detangler plate too or did you keep the one that came on the bike and just replace the gyro and top plate thar comes with the Odyssey package? I got the same gtxs gyro for mine, but did not buy the Odyssey detangler plate.
Yes, I actually did replace the stock gyro plate with the Odyssey plate. 👍 I bought the Odyssey plate separately.
I've been looking at this for awhile but it's almost as much as I have into my current GT.... BTW it's the width of the tires you should be looking at, like 20x2.4
Availability is a little better, but yeah, they retail for $825 currently, and crept up a bit from last year's price of $675 when I got it.
The stock tires are 2.35 wide, 60 PSI, and the new tires are 2.2 wide, 110 PSI. I usually like around 80 PSI for lesser rolling resistance and a little less bite during spins.
Sweet.....
Thanks! 💪
Nice vid !!where can I find alloy tech 77 levers?
Thanks! You can pick up Tech 77 levers at a few shops: Albe's, Dan's Comp, Porkchop BMX.
just got the confirmation from Albe's BMX that my black 2022 will be here in 2 days.. planning on doing the same tech 77s and some plastic pegs and *possibly the seatpost (but im tall so). it'll be the bike i will ride and not worry about vs. my 84' Redline prostyler and 86' mongoose FS-1 in lavender..
Congrats! The black one looks awesome! Was thinking about swapping out the white for the black. 😇
@@ChrisWong13 i actually wanted a white before it was even known that they'd do a black for 2022, but all the white ones were super overpriced at that time; ebay+marketplace ppl were asking like $1500-2k and some were used with certain stickers peeled off or added, and some ppl never put the front brake or gyro on, different grips, tires, seats, etc etc.. im glad i never "bit the bullet" cause now im getting a BLACK!
@@ChrisWong13 the ONLY vid of a black on youtube right now: czcams.com/video/6raOi-i584s/video.html
@@kitvexed8229 So killer! 😎
@@ChrisWong13 yah bro!
Chulada de GT el color blanco está perfecto 👌 todo bien me gustó mucho 😃👍 GT voy a ver cómo puedo Aser igual a la mía
¡Gracias!
Were the stickers already applied to the frame when the box was opened?
Yes, the stickers were already on the frame.
I forgot to ask you what brake pads you are using since i heard them sqeek in your videos. I know the clears are one of the best for stopping but noisier,plus i wonder if those are good on mags. I have black kool stop supra 2's on my haro with skyways but the still wont break good in the front,i want the best breaking pads for skyways for my front to do endo's and other tricks
I'm using Dia Compe Hombre white brake pads. These work pretty well, without a lot of squeal, but I have to sand off the glaze from the surface periodically to maintain the grip. I tried clear brake pads from Odyssey and Kool Stop, but yeah, they are super loud. Planet BMX has Skyway brake pads, maybe they would work better for you: www.planetbmx.com/shop/skyway-bmx-slim-brake-tuff-pads.html
@@ChrisWong13 I actually came to look at your bike since your the only person that had a video close up of it,lol. Im taking notes of custom parts im gonna do. Basically im gonna get rid of 90 percent of all the black and use pink and white. Im painting a few parts like the cable guides and gyro lower frame tabs and getting pink diacomp brakes with pink grips,pink seat and pink pedals. I have white mags on backorder and some gt LP-5 20x1.75 repro white gt tires coming this week. I need to find a pink detangler now or just get a silver one and a pink or white sprocket.
@@MorbidThrasher666 Yeah, I think this is literally the only video of the 2021 Pro Performer on CZcams at the moment. It's like a real video where it's being suggested with some other videos. 😁 There are a couple of videos of the 2021 Performer tho, which I actually thought of picking up as a cheaper park bike, but I think I'll wind up breaking it since it's not all chromoly and it's got single walled rims.
I always liked the look of the late 1980s stock GTs, so I did think of swapping all the black parts with white parts for a minute. It's such a pain to get parts this year tho, I'd have to order them all from at least 3 shops plus eBay. Maybe next year when hopefully supply is better I'll do some customization. Hope you find everything you want without too much headache. Looking forward to seeing it... 👍
Can't beat the originals.
So true!
It looks like my 2019 (yellow) Pro Performer. I was wanting one of these white ones to match my white 1987 Performer, but I think I will just powder my yellow one white and find some 1987 style decals.
Yeah, it's pretty much the same bike in a different color this year. Even tho I had a white GT back in the day, I would kinda prefer the 2019 yellow or 2020 pink. Trade? 😁
@@ChrisWong13 I would if not for the shipping.
I've got a chrome one, first color of the repop line. I'd like the fluro pink one as well, but they are hard to some by. Heck, any of them are besides the white and black. Give it time though. Their keepers.
They should have put the laid back seat post....mine is back order, cant wait
It does come with one actually, it just felt like I was seated too far away from the bars, so I put a straight seat post on it. Hope you get it soon. 👍
@@ChrisWong13oooh, I didn't know that
Outstanding bikes back in the day, I wanted one of these so bad as a kid. Mabee I'll suprize my son with one and ride it when he's in school lol. Are they hard to find?
Thanks. Seems like I was pretty lucky to get one of these when I did.
And yes, these are pretty hard to find because of high bike demand due to the pandemic. I picked this up from Albe's in July 2020. I've seen it available at Dan's Comp too. Links are below. Good luck landing one!

@@ChrisWong13 , thanks for the info
What size pegs did you put on? I bought some some the nut /washer piece didn't fit inside
I bought the GT Safe Street pegs and also the GT Real Steel pegs. They both work without any issues. I think they are 14 mm but they come with adapters for 10 mm axles. You might be OK if you just pick up adapters.
What kind of pegs go into the cutout on the fork? Are they like old school fork standers
Any kind of modern bolt on axle peg. They usually have a larger diameter compared to the old school axle pegs. If you tried to install modern pegs on old school GT forks, they would hit the fork legs.
👍
I would rather have the new style bike instead of an original I just wouldn’t have the heart to go ride and mess up an original bike
I hear ya. I feel the same. 👍
Looks beautiful. Whats the geo? Whats it weigh? I remember my friend's was a tank back in the day? Is this pretty much an exclusive flatland bike? Just got my Sunday Soundwave and love it, but I would'nt mind having this as a second bike.
Thanks. I updated the description to include the weight and the geo. I weighed the bike myself shortly after I bought it, and it was 30.6 lbs. Comparing the top tube size and geo, it's prob good as an all around bike and not just for flatland, and it's pretty similar to the other current pro GT models and the Sunday Soundwave.
@@ChrisWong13 That’s kinda heavy, a haro bashguard is 31.2 lbs, and the haro master is around 24 or 25 lbs, it can’t be that heavy, what’s weighing down
Yeah, I agree. The only thing that the bike didn't include was the pegs, so I can't imagine adding pegs and swapping the brake parts would add much weight. I weighed my 2018 Haro Lineage Master using the same scale and it's 28 lbs. My scale could be off. I saw a recent Haro Facebook Live video where they talked about the new 2021 bashguard bikes and they were said to be about 35 lbs.
@@ChrisWong13 They have the weight on their website and it’s 31.2 lbs for the bashguard, the haro master must have the extra weight because of the pegs but you could probably get lighter pegs because originally the bike is around 24 to 25 lbs, so unless the scale actually is off
@@firedemon2166 Ah, I see the 2021 weights on the Haro site. John Buultjens, the Haro Brand Manager, was who mentioned the approx weight of 35 lbs. I think he did say that was the weight of a 2019 or 2020 Master bashguard, which has more tubing than the 2021 model, so maybe that's where the difference is. I don't see the weights on the GT site, but I always could pick up another scale to confirm the GT weight.
Chris. Can you do me a favor? I just got a GT Mallet and the haro Lineage compression bolt is too big in diameter to fit inside the GT mallet properly. Can you look at your Lineage Compression bolt vs your GT bolt and tell me if the GT is smaller? I need to buy one that is gonna fit. Cheers!!
I actually have a spare new school GT mallet stem and a Haro compression bolt, and I'm seeing the same thing. I measured the top crown of the compression bolts that would fit into the stem with a Park Tool digital caliper, the Haro is 33.5 mm, the GT is 32.5 mm.
@@ChrisWong13 Thank you very much! I love the GT mallet.
@@kidwilson3357 Yeah, it's great that they made a new school version. Love the look of it. 👍
Nice video. Even better at 1.5x speed.
Yeah, it is prob a little too long. 😁
Not at all. I just get impatient. lol Love the content and it’s amazing you can still do all the tricks - don’t think you need the pads, but if you are around the same age as me I totally get it. I had a white gt pro performer in 87-89 around there. Crazy how the OG ones are worth a good amount even in not so mint condition.
I was looking to buy a 2021 re-release like yours but sold out and 2022 is black. Too bad I found out about these a year too late.
@@hugocastana2447 Thanks! Been meaning to work on more tricks, but adulting gets in the way. Plus I haven't been freestyling much lately to try out racing. I wear pretty thin pads for flatland usually just to prevent having to deal with lingering bumps and bruises, it just helps with daily life after smacking a shin on a peg or a pedal, etc.
I had a white 87 Pro Freestyle Tour back in the day, and then a black one after that. So true, prices are insane for OG bikes nowadays.
Funny, I was actually thinking of swapping this one out with a 2022 black one. Had a couple of chances to order one, but didn't pull the trigger. I like the white one, but I think I might like the black more.
is it only 80s looks? Does it have the crank-location as low as the old bikes or as high as the new ones?
This is basically a modern bike that has 80s looks. The bottom bracket height looks to be 12 inches, which is close to the 11 7/16" that I saw in a post on the 1986 bike: bmxmuseum.com/reference/6548
You can check out the geometry on the GT site: www.gtbicycles.com/usa_en/pro-performer-20
@@ChrisWong13 sucks....I am a 80s BMX Semi-Pro and rode again in the 2000s. I bought a late 90s bike but can't stand the high crank-tube. I need the 80s geometrics
@@Hirthirthirt That's awesome that you were semi pro! I haven't had any issues with the bottom bracket height myself. I'm OK with modern geometry for the most part, but I'm mostly a flatlander. The only thing I would change is the top tube length, I would go a bit shorter than the 20.75" on this bike, but it feels good for flatland and the little bit of park riding that I try occasionally.
I just got one these. I have a quick question if you can help me out. Did you have any sprocket chatter when you first got it? Mine had a little bit out of the box but got worse when I took the back wheel off to put pegs on. I’ve tried different chain tensions but still the same now. Any advise?
Congrats! Yes, I do remember that. You could try lubricating the chain, but it just went away after riding it for a while.
Also, the chain is most likely put on backwards at the factory too. Look up other videos on half link chains and you'll see that the "fireballs" are supposed to point toward the front of the bike.
Sweet! Thanks so much. It almost did seem like the chain was on backwards. I appreciate your help!
I had this same problem, I changed my chain thinking it was that, but it wasn’t. I also changed my cranks because 175mm hurts my knees, and that’s where it was…turns out the bicycle mechanic noticed the spindle was to much to left side and then they tightened the heck out of the cranks bolts. If you guys get a chance take the bike to a shop so the can look at it. They also put the chain on backwards from the factory if you do some research on the half link chains, they are designed to go one direction. Peace, I hope this may help. Side note…Dope video Chris Wong it helped me on getting some parts for my 2021 Pro Performer.
@@ricardosanchez2610 Glad you liked the video and it's good to see these bikes getting out to more people. And thanks for the info on the crank spindle. I'll have to take a look at that.
@@ChrisWong13 no problem brother, I'm happy to help. I hope to see more updated videos on your Heritage! I believe we are in some of the same gt fb groups lol
am jealous
No need to be. The 2022 model in black is coming soon. 👍
is there anyway to not have the seat tilt up ? I like it flat
Yes, this is a pivotal seat, so the only adjustment is tilt up or down. But it comes stock with a laid back seat post, so it will tilt down only so far (the seat would be about 90 degrees to the seat tube of the frame). You'll need to replace it with a straight seat post if you want the seat flat to the ground.

¡Gracias! Lo compré por $675 USD de BMX de Albe en julio de 2020. www.albes.com
Don’t you also have a lineage ground master? How would you compare the two?
Yes, I have the 2018 Lineage Master in turquoise and green. It's a great bike and a big step up from the 2021 GT Pro Performer in terms of quality. The Haro's welds are better, it's got extras like clear coat over everything.
In terms of overall feel, they're pretty similar and very close in geometry and sizing. When I had just these 2 bikes, I made the GT my daily rider because the Haro is so nice.
Thanks, very helpful. The Haros seem to be sold out while the GTs are in stock at most online shops. Plus they’re $500 less…

@@glutaminerebound4285 Yeah, the 2021 Haro Lineage bikes were available earlier in the year.
You need to change the brake hardware around the brake can bottom out
How do you mean? You're saying the brake levers hit the grips? I tune them to where the brakes touch the rims around a quarter of the way to the grips.

@@videogazer801 Yeah, it's terrible how much prices have risen in the last couple of years.
Not bad, had bought this bike in 1986 when I was 12.a little disappointed with the cheap components they put on this classic bike. Would upgrade almost everything except frame and forks and handlebars..GT must do better especially for the 800 dollar price.. thank god for eBay!
Yeah, some stock parts could be a little better, but it's actually not that bad of a price considering the pricing and components are similar to their top-end pro signature models, and the Haro Lineage bikes sell for $1,600, though the Haro Lineage quality is a big step up from these. There haven't been many 2021 Pro Performers on eBay, maybe 3 or so since I picked this up in 7/2020, but the list prices have been all over the place, from $1,500 to $2,500.

They're basically the same tire but the stock tires are 2.35 wide and only support 60 PSI max, and I picked up thinner replacements which are 2.2 wide and support up to 110 PSI.
@@ChrisWong13 does the psi support jumps better?
@@balthazarbratt8194 The higher PSI is better for flatland. There's less bite from the tires on spins and less rolling resistance. I wouldn't really run them at 110 PSI tho, I'd only run them at 80 PSI.
@@ChrisWong13 o ok. Thanks
How do you remove seat?
The seat is a pivotal style seat. You have to put an allen wrench into a hole in the top of the seat to loosen the bolt and remove it from the seat post. You can search for other videos on pivotal seats if you're not familiar with them.
Thanks a lot
I want that old post wanna sell it?
I'm gonna hold onto the original seat post in case I ever sell the bike.
$825???
That's the current retail price. It was actually lower last year when I picked this one up, I got it for $675 in July 2020.
The lowest I've seen these go for in the used market is $900.
So you kept it pretty much stock except for ALMOST EVERYTHING
I changed 4 parts and added pegs:
- Brakes
- Brake levers
- Gyro
- Seat post
- Pegs
And you might not even tell unless they were pointed out. I've seen others that swapped out almost everything on these bikes except the frame...?
@@ChrisWong13 🤣yeah I don't think I would have noticed, actually food for thought when I get mine.
@@jeffparrish9791 Cool. These are hard to find, but still available. Hope you find one soon. 👍
Back in stock at Albe's

My dude that chain is backwards
Yeah, I know. That's how it came from the factory and a maybe all of these bikes came that way. I tried switching the stock KMC half link chain the right way around and it was really noisy for some reason. Another friend with the same bike saw the same thing. I swapped out the KMC chain for a Shadow half link and it's on the right way and it's nice and quiet. 👍
@@ChrisWong13 nice 👍🏻 , yeah I’ve been on the shadow v-2 interlock half link crimson red , I run them on my black 2003 Hoffman pro team condor , it has 2gen ramp room love handles, and Brooklyn machine works shin urger pedals
@@skylarsoper241 Very cool! 😎 Those pedals definitely look dangerous. 😬
@@ChrisWong13 yeah you really don’t wanna catch one in the shin , but rad grip for bunny hopping a 40 lbs tank 😊
When non riders post bike videos! Learn some history! So many assumptions in this video! Wtf!
Of course? I haven't ridden in 30 years until last year...? 😁
@@ChrisWong13 I can respect that, I watched your other stuff btw, I was going to take my comment down but I wanted to see how big your stones were... good reply m8... I am just a salty mid school vert rider and missing “street parks” scooter parks are just making me more salty over the years
@@mrexon No problem. I always try to take a positive outlook online. No sense in starting trouble with everyone over everything... 👍
