Hey Novacain I really wasn't vested into this bike, but as it went along I can't wait to give her a spin around my routes.
I'm looking at taller bars, some blank Tech's 4 they are cheap at the moment (10") guessing Blank had pulled out of the market or over supply?
As always thanks for the support!
Thanks for the likes everyone appreciated
Top transformation!
To be honest I didn't hold out every hope at the start as it looked pretty cooked but you've proved me so very wrong which I'm very glad of.
Mega effort, mega skills!

Haaa Lucidone me too!
It was a challenge for me and this bike has taught me something which I'm going to go back to my original Night Burner to re-do.
It's funny after doing two bikes the knowledge was poured into this one.
But it helps when you and Novacain guide me in the right direction.
Skills not so sure just kept going, time was a factor and my poor hands
Raining yesterday, so here you guys go real sunshine pictures!
What did I learn from this one?
Dave Voelker is still cool, last bike release before the GT team got disbanded 7th months ago I think, was a 29" bmx hybrid retails around £400
Would like to buy a piston stem to go with GT theme, but they are rubbish grip wise, as you can buy them at anytime.
Air bag tyres are like £60 plus for a decent set.
Two stickers are missing square ones on top tube just GT global iso decals.
The GT decals a rough on the bottom, but fine on top so left them as It would cost probably over £100 just to get them made?
Two new stunt pegs, but they were about £80 to £100 pounds and only available in the 10mm fronts need 14mm for rears.
The bars are actully 8" but just really narrow and short, which I think are designed so you can spin the bars more easily.
From to this day I still dont know what bar ends are OEM stock, every picture I could find had different bar ends?
The rear rim is not OEM, but an upgraded double walled rim same brand Alex rims just stronger for a reason.
The chain is still KMC just different colour.
Its actually a stunt bike through and through, up and down the slopes is where she is happiest!
Don't buy from America on ebay, the shipping is more than the parts are worth!
I realised that most people who own this bike just actually want to cruise around, which is where I think the mods on there pictures are evident layback seats and different larger handlebars!
I don't think there is many left in the UK reply to me, if you still own one of these as opinions on the whole bike really interests me!
Think twice about throwing away stuff it might possible to be saved and turned into a real treasure
Nice bit of kit it might help with the hands alot, mine are arteritis related more than anything. I've always wanted to try mothers will one day.Trust me you helped all chrome would have ended up in black paint
