$150.00 | | Purchased At: | east palmdale pawnshop | | Strengths: | everything its unbreakable | | Weaknesses: | none | | Bike Setup: | 3pc profile cranks
oryg
new alex rims machined sides
redline hubbed with 14 mm axles
new haro 36t sprocket
new 18t freewheel
new textro brakes
new haro one directional street tires
free agent chain tensioners
| | Bottom Line: | i was pisst when i woke up and found out someone had broken into my garage during the night and stolen both my bmx bikes redline and free agent especially because i had just put brand new rims on the redline the day before and didn't even to test them out
i am still mad about it but not as mad because this Gt is my most favorite bike ever i absolutely love this bike and when i was talking to this guy at the pawnshop and he told me about a bike in the back that they just that day after i saw it and then found out how much he would sell me it i had to get it and my sister let me barrow the money from her when i got the bike it was completely stock and looked like it had never been used before it was a killer deal and over this 5 months or so i have completely changed everything on it it was origanly silver but my dad paints cars so we stripped it down and resprayed it with black paint that my dad had just used on a bmw he did a perfect job you cant even tell its been repainted and then i ordered the sticker kit for it online after i got it back together it was perfect i love taking it out and showing it off other people have even offered me money for it but i wont sell it i am keeping it for ever this bike is seriously unbreakable and hits jumps perfectly i live a 10 minute bike ride away from miles of just open mojave desert with lots of jumps and i am always out there abusing this bike and its still perfect as the day i got it this bike going to last me for ever it might be heavier then most bike but it seriously doesn't even affect you at all
i would say this bike is for anyone that needs a good strong bike that is going to last them
i would have to give this bike a rating from 1-10 it would have to be a 20 absolutely the best | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 10, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | This bike is built in the good old USA so you know it is built right. The geometry is perfect for dirt jumping and some park riding. | | Weaknesses: | Everyone seems to agree its a little heavy for a bicycle frame. The rear end is too big (15' chainstays). The seatpost clamp that is built in does not work as well as a bike with one not built in. | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | When i bought it it came with 1 piece cranks, the oversized seatpost and guts where a joke. Bars, stem, wheels, headset, and fork where all good quality. | | Bottom Line: | When i first bought this bike i knew that i would never have to buy another again. It had a 1 1/8 headset, which was new to me, and good parts at the time i was riding so i was stoked that i got it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
