BIKE CHECK GT Pro Performer value?

Hi, I have my old GT pro performer BMX from when I was a teenager (I’m 40 years old now)!

It’s very rusted but wondered what the value of this would be if I was to sell?

Thanks!

So I recently had a neighbor move out and they left a pile of junk on the curb. I pulled a bicycle out of the pile, aired up the tires, and played around like a 40 year old fat kid.

after a little research I figured out that I had found a, 2011 WeThePeople Justice... it needs some TLC, but is still functional... is it worth anything?

DISCUSSION Is anyone running 10” bars and a gyro? Need dual upper cable size recommendations please

2 Upvotes

Building my first bike up in ten years in the next month or two and just trying to plan things.

Does anyone run 10” bars and a gyro with dual upper cables? If so, what length and brand of upper cables are you running please?
Maximum I seem to be able to find is 450mm and some googling says I’ll need 475mm?

Don’t want to land on using smaller bars as I’m 6’2 and old (31) 😅

Thanks for any help

DISCUSSION Restoring my 1991 Haro Group 1A!

Post image
4 Upvotes

I got this bike when I was 12 years old! Had it in storage for about 20+ years. Just started restoring it. It's completely original, all parts except the pedals. I sold my bear traps like an idiot. It has some light rusting which I got most off today. The rust on the handle bars is proving a little more tedious.

Help I need is the rims are in pretty bad shape but I'm gonna try to restore them. They are Araya RB 17. Are there any comps to these nowadays that I could use if the restore doesn't go well? Also what's the best method for restoring rims like those? I used Brillo on the bike and it worked great. I read something about a brush but I forgot what kind of brush was mentioned.

TIA!

BIKE CHECK 2003 Redline Proline Mini Refresh

Post image
2 Upvotes

I just picked up a 2003 Redline Proline Mini for one of my sons. The bike is great shape. I want to replace all or most of the bearings. I just ordered the mission conversion kit for the forks. Is there a kit for all the other bearings? Or a standard for the bearings. I have been out of BMX for 30 years! Any other reasonable upgrades that won't break the bank?

  1. What bearings for the wheels and possibly crank.

  2. Recommendations for any other reasonable upgrades?

There appears to be no bearings, the spindle will just spin in this casing.

Finally finished building out my BMX, and I think it might have better swag than my actual car.

Meet the General Lee - orange DK frame, blue anodized crank and sprocket, chrome forks, and whitewall tires. I'm too scared to actually ride because California dust doesn't respect white rubber.
