How to "Old School" a New School BMX

[RailRider]

I see some new school bikes popping up with old school colors. For the price I could not resist grabbing one tonight! The new Day Glo orange is nearly the same as the old GT so here we go!

Here is the color next to my 1986 GT!

I plan on using parts i have laying around here to make this brand new bike appear to be a mid 80's Freestyler! Stay tuned.

I did this in about 15 minutes tonight. More time tomorrow evening!

I guess this would be more like how I older schooled a New School! lol I used some mid school stuff, but here is the bike as I built it! I would rather have some black OGK's or Skyways but this is what I had laying around!

OK, already back at it with this bike! lol Going to sell those 3 spoke GT mags and added these ACS mags instead. The 5 spoke feels a little more Old School!

Changed the seat to a Dominator I forgot I had, and the seat post w/ 1" shim I made for now.

Very cool.

One thing to almost instantly bring a bike back 20 years is throw a set of gum wall tires on it! Here's a build I did a while back kinda going the other way, taking old school and bringing it into the new school. Old bike but new drive line.

I have one of those tricycle sprockets if you need an extra!
