    The new 26” Cruiser/BMX thread

    This is mine, it was build to help me get back cycling again, to help with my back which has improved a great deal since. It is build around a 1998 GT Tempest frame with mostly Shimano XT drivetrain parts, Avid brakes and DMR parts, like jump forks, pedals and grips, the saddle has since been...

    1992 Raleigh Dyna-Tech Diablo on eBay

    Looks like a nice bike, maybe worth the price to someone. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296627779965?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8twwBjskSt-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=d2zLQnRbQvW&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    What price to pay for a good chromoly GT frame like Avalanche, Bravado or Karakoram?

    Today was a great day as I have taken delivery of a 1992 GT Bravado frame and fork, courtesy of henrysthreeironbands who sold me his 16" frame, see here, a new project for me to build up. This has been a great experience so far with great communication from this member of the forum! Hats off to...

    Very early Orange Clockwork.

    Lovely bike, I love bright colours! It may not be pristine, but those little marks add character!

    Mavic Sunset wheel set on XT hubs £60 Christchurch (come with a Trek attached)

    I had lilac levers like these on a BMX bike I bought a couple of years ago, they're flimsy, unfortunately. You can find them on eBay.

    Inappropriate brand/model names

    hey, don't knock Syncros rims, I had them on my 2001 GT iDrive 4.0, they outlasted my GT frame! 😁

    1991 GT Cyclone

    GT had both the Cyclone and Psyclone models in the early 90's, correct me if I am wrong but the Cyclone was only made for one year, where the Psyclone was made for a longer period after it's introduction.

    I have forgiven myself for the loss of my first Pantera back in 1993 when it got stolen by buying another one, it's in pretty good condition for it's age and I love this bike. . The shifters that came on the bike were Deore DX under bar shifters but the right hand shifter was very stiff and...

    That bike looks stunning! I have noticed you have the same grips as what I have on my 1992 Pantera AL, it took me a while to get used to as they're quite bulky, they're closest thing I could find to match the original GT/A'ME Waffle grips.

    Why weren't ATBs a development of BMX?

    GT already had 26" wheeled BMX bikes in the 80's which inspired my Tempest build, which originally started from my 1999 Tequesta which I bought to help me get back into cycling with a bad back (at that time, but has improved since, I gladly add)...

    Thumbie set up

    That's an interesting point but I'd be worried about damaging the thumb shifters that way.

    Thumbie set up

    My recently acquired thumbies for my beloved GT Pantera, always inline with brake levers for me.
