- This is a video about a old school BMX bike I found at the flea market. I clean it up put a good set of wheels on it. It turns out better than expected.

I have a few GT race bikes!!❤ spent 40 yrs racing!!!
My parents wouldn't get me a good bike. I had to buy my own good bike at 16years old. It was a Supercross.
@@alloutbikes I raced for Factory GT for a few yrs as a teen!!
Beautiful...
I have a 1983 gt Nora cup and ride it every day and love it
Take care of it. There are only so many of them. Thanks for watching.👍
@@alloutbikes thanks
I had one of these in the mid 90s. One of the nicest riding bmx bikes Ive ever ridden and I owned a couple dozen. I sold it for 60 bucks, needed gas money for my car when I first started driving. I was told it was #4 produced. It was all original. Years later, I scored one of the first Eastern bikes that a guy was throwing out- his kid outgrew it, and I still ride it. Figure it kinda evened out, but that GT was one sweet bike.
Just came across this video, my GT has same rims and hubs but they’ve faded quite a bit. Mine has uni hammer head seat and had maxy cross crank and red anodized aluminum bars with a V cross bar. Owned it since 1985. Cheers
Cool! Take care of that bike. Thanks for sharing.
That's a hardcore racing bike, the skinny rims and tires on it are exactly what a top-level racer would have run. Nice story and nice bike 👍
Thank you.
Awesome score!
I remember seeing one of these in 1983 and just drooled all over myself. The GT's were a step above everything else at the time. Nice ride!
Thank you. And thanks for watching!
@K B Just to Correct You-GT won the Nora Cup Vote in 82 and "Claimed" it in 83....However there Was NO VOTE Until Late 83 So HUTCH Won it in 84. Checked With BMX SOCIETY and BMX MUSEUM as Sources. ;-)
I actually like the tires u put on nice bike man I've been looking for one forever
Your local bike shop can order them if they don't already have them. I just checked my local distributor and they have plenty. They go for about $20-$22 each. Thanks for commenting.👍
Very nice bike. Thanks for Sharing.
No....Thank you.
raced one of those frames for awhile. all the kids had new frames but that old 1984 gt worked great for me. i raced hutch, quickline, titan, auburn, technique and demo a few other local frames by bassett and another guy in and around lake elsinore frame builders. tbh as a joke i stripped a murray, schwinn and huffy down to frames and put my race parts on and still got podiums.
Red tires are dope!
I thought it would be to much. I ran out of black tires so I used red till the black tires came in. It looked to good to change. Thanks.👍
Sick bike bro!
Thanks.👍
Bike looks great bro
I just bought an 83 GT Pro with the 82’ brakeless forks. I’m building it up so maybe it will look something close to yours without costing me a fortune. I really dig your bike 🤙
Thank you!
Nice work sir. Those Arayas really make the bike look great.
Thank you James!
I Will Check Out Your Bikes While I'm Posting There! AWESOME Bike!
Sorry. I don't know how I missed your post. Thank you very much.
@@alloutbikes Quite All Right! Only Year I Lack is an 81. Have an 80 Pro, (3) 82's and (3) 83's(All Pros). All Have GT Forks/Bars/Layback Seat Posts. ;-)
I still have my 1982 Sana Cruz GT Nora race bike that I had built for me by Sundance Bikes. The chrome shines like the day it was dipped! The components a collectors dream. By the way: I also have the breaks your looking for. Brand new still in original box. In red!
Send some pictures of your bike. I'd love to post them on our website. If you ever want to sell your brakes I still haven't found found any yet. Thanks for sharing your story!
Dang those ARAYA rims are damn near NOS! nice set up. That bike is amazing
Thank you!
I thought the red tyres we're going to be too much but it looks awesome. Great to see it riding. Just some sunlight photos would be perfect.
The sun kept disappearing. I literally just shot the video earlier today.
Thanks for watching!
The spider was called a power disc
Bike looks sick ! I think I got your last pair of black comp 3s .lol Jason J.
Yes, You did.
You got a steal of a bargain,that bike prob worth 2-3k as you found it. Looks like you got the 88-90 seat which goes anywhere from 150 and up depending on condition and that seat clamp is a 88-90 clamp which goes for about 100-120 depending. Nice find!!
Thank you! I was lucky to find it.
it's one sweet BMX.. when with the red tires
Thank you.
👍
Thanks for the thumbs up.
I have an Sept of 82 Nora Cup frame came with faded red shimano three piece cranks the forks i had bought separately cost me more to buy then the frame and cranks did. Picking up some new frame stickers for it because it's missing the chrome GT wing sticker on the lower tube.
Beautiful bikes. I hope you hold onto it.👍
Yo monte en una belleza muy parecida 🇨🇴🙏🚴Osama Ben laden Bogotá Colombia.
Super bike super deal.
Thank you.
Another great video Jason. By the way, what dId you use to wax the bike with? Whatever it is I want to order a supply. Can you do a video on different types of skateboards and accessories?
I can give you a recommendation - Flitz polish. It is by far the best polish I've used, I like it more than Mothers. You can buy it at ACE Hardware or probably even online.
Thats very similar to the GT I had during the 80s.
Quick question J-Dawg : when I'm using a one-piece crank and bolting on the sprocket do I need to use a washer under the bearing nut because I noticed on the old bikes from the '50s and '60s there's there's a big fat washer on there it's about an inch and 3/4 in diameter was that just to help keep the sprocket rigid ? anyway, I I know that's a simple dumbass question but I was just wondering if you had any insight on that ,,,, and if you ever do put a washer between the OPC and the steel sprocket to space the sprocket in or out slightly ,, or to Center your crank arms around framee ? I have a tendency to overthink stuff, but theres definitely a science to setting up a crank "correctly. "okay thank you ,, much appreciation. From norcal. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The big washer is for sprocket alignment or sprocket spacing. Use the washer as needed. If the alignment is good without the washer and the sprocket is not super close to the frame then you don't need it. Thanks for your question.👍
Hello I'am in the UK and I'am looking to recreate my 82/3 Black chrome.Was there ever a factory version or should I look to build how I had it?Tuff neck head set,seat stem,chain wheel.Renthal bars,Araya wheels with suntour hubs?
As far as I know they never made a factory version like that. At that time you bought the frame and fork and built it to order with custom ordered parts or what the shop has on hand. I hope that helps. Goodluck 👍
$90 !! wow !!
If you pay attention to your surroundings you can sometimes see things other people miss. Thanks for watching!
20" 1 1/8" race wheels are on it and top bar 20.5" pro frame.
That is what some people do. I'm just glad I found it. Thanks!
I finally got one 😂
Cool. I hope it's in good shape.👍
@alloutbikes It was, but wrong color, I had C4 Labs get it blue for me so it is exactly my old bike from back in the day.
@@donbeaulieu8964 I hope you ride it every once in awhile.
@@alloutbikes around the block and back
@alloutbikes I tried to post a short of it in the comments, didn't seem to work but it's out there in CZcams land.
Big $$$ today
Your not kidding! I couldn't pay those prices. I just don't have that kind of money.👍
Great Bike !! How Much would you sell for ??
Thank you for your interest but it is hanging up with the other bikes so that people can enjoy them. Thanks for watching!
More videos please ,, lol
You need to sell me this frame and forks. It's the final piece of my build. 😆
Sorry. This is one of my favorite bikes. I do wish you goodluck on finding one👍
There is no 81 GT Nora Cup. It was awarded in 83 for the 82 year. The 83 had the Nora Cup sticker but was just a 83 Pro with a sticker dated 82.
I know. I just added the Nora to it because lots of people kept saying (Hey...a Nora Cup) it reaches a wider audience. But thanks for commenting.👍
@@alloutbikes yeah but you add the word at the end for reference or we teach people that this is a Nora Cup then we have more people who believe whats not true. 😄
I got a 1982 GT Pro
Take good care of it.👍
@@alloutbikesthanks i will. I also got a 1984 GT mach one frame i restored it feels solid 👍🚲
Would you be willing to sell the blue Torker bike hanging up behind our stand? it's like the bike I had as a kid.
Thank you!
Sorry, I sold it a couple months ago. I wish I could help. I hope you find the one your looking for. I still have my chrome and blue one but that is not for sale. Thanks for watching.👍
dude. I've got an itch for an old bmx..
Sounds like it was a Consignment shop sales
He just didn't know much about bikes. Thanks!
1.75 in rear 2.125 in front? The old school way!
Good eye. Thanks!
Na mate, your"re just real big. Me too.
😎
guy from cars and cameras ?
No. My name is Jason. Thanks for watching!
@@alloutbikes aren’t you his brother?
Will ya take 100$ for it now???? LOL
Nothing wrong with asking. 😁.........................No. Thank you. I think I'll hold onto it. It's one of my favorites. 👍
Way to rip a guy off, hope your conscience is clear
My conscience is clear. The other guy was passing himself as a (Bike Shop) when he didn't know what he was doing. I also didn't mention in the video that he had a big cheesy smile on his face and chuckled when I gave him the money. He couldn't believe he sold the bike for that much. He closed up because he had so many people coming back because of problems. Besides he was there to sell. I was there to buy. My conscience is clear.
