Every hobby comes with a price. Im 50 yrs old and i am still building these P.F.Ts. It all started for me back in 87 when i was in JR High. We had what was called the Recycler it was a news paper that came out every Thursday and you would find just about everything including guns. Anyways i did finish building one of these 87 P.F.Ts 2 years ago and man prices tripled in price around the Covid pandemic. I lost count around at around $5k it took me about 3 yrs just to find most of the era correct parts. I got to give thanks to my oldest son and my wife in helping me out finding the part i needed to build this day glow pink P.F.T it feels good taking home a trophy at the end of every bike show i have showed this GT the smile of my kids receiving the award is pricele$$. 👍🙏😎
That’s amazing. Yes, there is a feeling of joy that I get every time I add a new part to this bike. I love how these bikes bring me back to a time where I had no worries or any real responsibilities at all. The only thing I wanted to do was go RIDE!
Great video sir. Feels like I won the lottery with my 87 Blue PFT survivor off Craigslist for...... $20. In Montana, last summer. lol The treasures are still out there!
Holy Cow! That’s a steal!! 💯
Great video, thank you! Appreciate the references to prices can indeed vary. Three years ago or so when I started I kept an excel spreadsheet, stopped updating it beginning of 2023 it adds up! 😂 ….you’re right some stuff you go for and some you wait. Timing plays a big role and finding stuff in good condition. It’s a hobby, cheaper than cars and can get a bike completed in these busy times without too much space, but the addiction is real 😊
That’s exactly what I dealing with now…
Good stuff
Thanks.
I have built a few GT 95-98 pro series 24” and it can get real experience real quick. Your GT is beautiful !!
The prices are ridiculous now… Ugh. Thx
87 GT PFT,is my dream bike!
Thanks for tell us the cost🙏🏻
I love the 87’s as well.
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Watching this makes me feel so much better about putting $1200 into restoring my 87 PFT 😊😊😊
Expensive hobby..
This was a great overview video. Well done 👏
Thank you. 😊
It's sad how we poor kids could not afford these bikes back then and now that we are older, with good jobs, we still can't afford these bikes. Glad you can man!!
Covid drove these prices to new heights. It’s absolutely ridiculous!! 🤦♂️
$1550 for the wheels is CRAZY lol . I found some black OGK GT performer mags on eBay for $600 back in December. I def bought them because the black mags are getting harder and harder to find . I would've just threw some OGK's on this build. But I prefer mag over spokes, so that's just me lol . UKAI's are expensive....But nice build. This is my dream bike, along with the Dyno Pro Compe from '87. I'm hoping to come across a barn find like I did with my Compe. I currently own a chrome mid 90's Dyno Compe and a '85 Diamond Back
Oh believe me, I contemplated putting OGK’s. But I couldn’t find a decent pair in white.
I am in shock on how expensive this bikes are, they are beautiful art!!!!!!! Congrats on your chanel!!!!!
Me too! And Thank You. 😊
You are so very lucky.
Blessed.. 🙏
A'ME round grips are actually the correct ones.
Yes. But for some reason I like these better.. 🤔
I love that you used the GT pegs instead of the frame standers. They are useless and takes away from the look of the bike, ditto the fork standers but the bike is beautiful. Awesome job.
100% agree. It was extremely difficult to do tricks with frame standers.
Wagner, you do realize that some of us are married, right? Our wives may see this! 😂
You have to have a very patient wife..
Or….someone just doesn’t post a video like this.
Hahaha just kidding.
Reminds me of the saying “When I die, I hope my wife doesn't sell my boat for what I told her I paid for it."
@@Sourguitars Exactly…
If I bring ONE more bike home, my wife’s gonna remove my balls
😂😂😂 we all have that wife that also spends around $1k a month in MAC make up and hair n nails getting done. But we don't say anything about that. Lol
For that price range it really should have an original GT Power Series 3 pc crank.
I know, I know… I want them so bad.. ! 🤦♂️
@@bmxfreestylefanatic They are gonna cost ya.
Where are the GT tires great vlog keep doing what you do
The tires were there. I paid $35 each.
And thank you.
@bmxfreestylefanatic I saw that but I was referring to the other one's with the letter's GT in the tread and then 15 seconds latter I saw you had the other one's LOL beautiful job brother you have to build your bike hope you wad happy with your build I was
Any chance i can get your assistance on finding leads to buy and assemble one of these great bikes??
The best way I’ve found is to go on BMX museum, eBay, and join some of the GT BMX Facebook group’s. That’s about all you can do to find parts.
I’m building a 97 right now, this is seriously humbling. Way outta my $$$ range.
Damn that’s nice
That’s Awesome.
And trust me, I wish they were cheaper. 🤦♂️
I never knew anyone that actually owned one back in the day. Some people did have a “Pro Performer”, but never even saw a “PFT” in person. The highest Haro that I ever saw was a “Sport”. No one ever had a “Master”.
You know someone now. They do exist. I see survivor PFTs for sale from time to time.
The master was for flatland and the sport for vert. They were about the same price, it was just the team models that were rare to see and was the top model upgrade.
My all og build is 12k and i didnt include the powder work and polish but it would be 13k plus easy.
I hear ya. Iv’e seen a few clips of your PFT on social media. Your bike looks amazing! 💯 👍
I wonder who did the restoration and powdercoat of those parts for you?
Most recently Orlando Powder Room.
Thanks
It’s so difficult to stop adding.
Where did you get the dice? I’ve been looking for those colors and obviously haven’t been looking in the right places.
I can’t remember exactly. However, Mr Dice Guy on Instagram makes some cool ones.

Do you have any parts for a 1987 gt pro freestyle tour bike?
I have a few, yes.
1,000,000 dollars. (Dr. Evil)
🤣 🤣
Bro, putting a price on my childhood, and not happy about it 😢
These prices need to come down..
Over 1000$ if you want a legit custom build. That’s if your already have the frame & fork.
👍
These bikes were not worth what they cost when they were new. 7000.00 is insane. White tires? Do you even ride it?
These bikes were $350 brand new in 1987. Key to remember… 1987. And yes I ride, but clearly not this one.
My comment was a little negative and unnecessary. I have some bike issues myself. The problem being that no bike is ever really done once it becomes a keeper. The curse of the middle aged bmx bike builder.
You overpaid big time on most of these parts bro
I could use your assistance in finding them cheaper. I’ll take all the advice I get. 👍
