Thank you guys for all your comments hope yall loved it I have a surprise for this year show in Houston I will be bringing another rare bike completely built along with other beautiful bikes so don't mis this 2024 show in May here in Houston hope to see yall there.
Watching from the UK . I remember seeing the GJS freestyle bikes in the magazines we could get from the USA back in the 80's . If it were me but it isn't I'd put the Z rims on the bike they just look the business . Good luck with the build guys . I just know it'll be rad what ever parts you decide to use .
Yo Michael, thanks for joining the convo, its been told that the UK has a few of the older GJS bikes in collections.
@@bmx_dreaming Hi mate . I've been looking and asking around but haven't found anyone in the UK with one so if they are here people are keeping them hidden very well . I found some on BMX museum . There's maybe 15 -20 freestylers but only 5 maybe 6 have the square chain stay .
@@boermed Yeah, the more I search and talk to others. I’m realizing how rare the GJS really is 🤯😩
Thanks, great video
I took a chance on a gjs Freestyle in the early 80s. Was a tank. This video brought me back to great memories of building mine. Sold it for money for my first apartment .
Such a killer video. Great content brother.
Yo Fulmer thank you for the continues support, more to come...
I can't wait for the complete bike build when it's done!👍😎
Yo Unc Lino, thank you for joining the convo make sure you sub to see part 2
Awesome, I feel like his life parallels mine, I started getting into freestyle in 85, unfortunately my first GT bike was a pro series but then later on I got a performer
Hey Estaban, This is your channel we all have the same childhood experience more to come make sure you subscribe for part 2
GJS!!! Holy cow, I haven’t heard that name in such a long time! This is absolute BMX gold right here! And those parts???? Oh man, I look forward to seeing this bike in person at the Austin show! This will be worth the trip from Hawaii to check it out! As for the rims, I’m gonna suggest the Z rims….love the look of those things! Thanks for sharing this!
Yes sir, GJS and SE have alot of the same historical BMX players, more content to come with a part 2
Such a cool story! About the bike and and even more so about Sergio and his family. From a color scheme perspective I think the black z rims would look great on that bike. And I don’t want to grow up either! ❤
Yes sir, a lot more to Sergio's story and collection. Part 2 coming soon
@@bmx_dreaming Awesome!! Looking forward to it.
Awesome stuff!! 🙌
Appreciate the support 🙌🏽👊🏽
I restored my brothers GJS 20+ years ago tuff neck CW bars landing gear forks with a set of ACS Mike Buff Z rims with ACS hubs restored by the legendary Gordy at Freewheel bike shop in GR Michigan. He was an old school bmx'er that rode for kuwahara. Even back then GJS was rare as hens teeth
My favorite bike was the ol PK Rippers
Wow, check ✔️ this out..85,old school, with the start of a frame,whale tail...super impressed 👏....First gen....Great vlog bro....massive respect 🙏 🫡
Much appreciated, working on a new content coming soon. Your comment was greatly appreciated
Back in 84 i rode with a guy who had a gJs. We had access to a few half pipes. Dan cracked it i think in under a month. He swapped to a Quad angle at the time. gJs was "supposed" to warranty it, but i don't think that ever happened. I wonder what ever happened with that frame
This is a gem!. I can't wait to see this at the BMX show in Austin. I'll bring three of my rare bird original pink 1985 haro master and orange 1985 cw California freestyle mike buff limited edition and 1988 woody iston strike zone.
This must be Chad Nystrom! When you gonna come off those Jimmy weinert forks for me? 😆
@@jamiecroweiii80 yup it's me 😁
I am here right now and sadly JJW Fork is at home it's for sale if you are serious but not going to be cheap tho.
I raced a GJS and raced it till I got a Co-Factory ride with Panda on a Pro-Am. Good geometry on the GJS. Wish I still had it.
Awesome brotha, I appreciate you sharing your experience. I too wish you still had the factory bike 🎯🥇🙌🏽👊🏽
Had a gjs in 82. The front headset had good control but also seemed low for bmx. Rode like a quad angle, kind of like mongoose or pk ripper.. The bacl looks like the Haro freestyle frame from 1984.
Yo Karre, that so awesome to hear and thank you for share, more to come with a Part 2
Gjs came out with a all cromeoly series even the neck look it up
I'm 51 I had in my teens I believe the handle bars were gjs too
I think I cried a little ....those rims and redline cranks🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Hahaha Paul, i with ya 🎯
I actually had one of these briefly back in 85. Mine was in the color pink 💗
Awesome, do you remember what you did with the bike? Where is it now ?
I wanted a Haro back then. I took it back to my friend that gave me the GJS. We lived in Saginaw Michigan back then, I do not know what he has done with it since. Haven't spoken to or seen him since 1989.
Edward Koester 3rd was his name.
Hell Yes!!! Awesome!!!
Yo Thank you Porto, you and I defiantly need to sit and talk bikes soon. The time is now....
Guys are cool. The parts I’m seeing so far, doesn’t matter which they choose, the bike will be epic.
Appreciate that, make sure to check out the next video we drop from the Texas BMX Round next week🙌🏽
@@bmx_dreaming I’m subbed’, definitely check it out.
Oh man! I had a GJS 85 Freestyler two tone lavender and pink! The frame and forks were identical to this one with the square chain stay tubes. My father gave it away on me without me knowing! Uggg! 😢. This is the only other two tone GJS I have seen. So there was at least two built!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
HEY THANK YOU SERGIO FOR SHOWING US THE BIKES ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
AKA DJ SERGIO MY KINDA MUSIC TOO
If he has ACS Z mags that would look dope. But I’m leaning towards the Z wheels
Yes sir with so many options, make sure you sub for part 2
Juan Mateo’s has thee basest GJS freestyler on the planet. This is a nice frame set, don’t be afraid to build it
Cool video,cool story.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏽
I got that orange one with white rims back in 89 for 25 bucks from my neighbor. Brand new .
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wish I could post a photo of the one my friend has. It’s a production model but in mint condition.
The black wheels would look best in my opinion....but the peregrine wheelset would be more freestyle friendly. Tough choice!
Its very cool for sure, however not as rare as one may think. GJS did make more of these, I have seen one or two of them at bike shows. I think Surgar Cayne also has a BMX show that he had videoed as well, but non the less a very cool bike,
LMAO, still the Rarest 🥇🥇🥇
My friend had a orange g j s back in the day. It was a quadanqal. I’m 58 and I’m still riding bikes.
The Quad Angel is SE🙌🏽
How do u tell the bikes from 80s and 90s
Good question, for the most part we rely on serial numbers. Most main stream brands sterilize the frames
The zero offset on those forks 👀
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
dope video OG fersure
Yoo Jose thank you means a lot, please hit the sub button. Lots in store to bring you dope bike content
Cepeda’s always have the best ❤️👍
They are a great unit of amazing humbled family. So much more to them
Should wait until the bmx round up and build it there with a livestream
Yo Nick, that the plan to go live and film the final build. stay tune to the channel.
$40 for a stem doesn’t make me feel bad paying $100-$200 for an old school stem now 😂
Right on 🤣🤣🤣
Wow beautiful bike
Thanks brotha, make sure you subscribe to the channel for the updated video of it completed 🙌🏽
I had the ACS stem the flight cranks , dia comp brakes and z rims on a 86 redline 20ii . I loved that bike I am still mad at myself for selling it. I sold it on eBay in 2003 for 600 bucks ! It’s probably worth six thousand now lol
Id probably say the Elf Freestyle frame or the first powerlite freestyle frames are a bit more rare than the GJS. Still an awesome and rare whip though.
I vote black z rims… I had a pair back in the day .. now I’m rocking haro freestyler… beautiful bike I want one…
My high school friend Jose Maldonado rode one of these and was sponsored by GJS
Wasn’t this frame but he had a freestyle frame
Yo love hearing that’s brotha, if you could share the video. Would enjoy hearing his experience riding for GJS
Gorgeous
I'd put Black Graphite Tuff II's and white Odyssey barefoot tires on it. But that's just me... lol 😎👍
Come on, Odyssey... Bring back the barefoot tires!
First gen chrome's, all day....on the wheels 🛞....boom.
🙌🏽👊🏽🥇
Shit man I’m from DENVER CO thanks for sharing this I’ve never seen anything like it nice I could only wish I’ll try to make it to see it in person ✊🏽✊🏽💯💯
Awesome brotha, make sure you subscribe to the channel more coming from the Texas BMX round 2024👊🏽
Oh boy! Rare bird GJS freestyler f/f
🙌🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I sold mine to a guy in Australia 😢 years ago.....what were the actual production numbers? And I heard that Jeff Utterback did all of the welding on those himself? Is that true?
Yoo tengo una Bicicleta GT California Aniquelada Antigua Y negra y Antigua California está bien bonita
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Z Rims all the way. Loved mine.
Yes sir 🥇🎯
I thought star made the bars for Woody
it’s a prototype!!!!! > they never even made a real bike with it! SO it has NO PLACE in our memories & arguably no place in BMX history! Not to take away from the story, but its only special because it’s sentimental to one family! & good for them! Also, i don’t see how its Special for BMX, especially if there was only less than 10 other models in Europe & NOT EVEN IN THE US, when BMX was BORN IN USA!
LMAO, I’m sure it out of your price range. The bike is real and has been built as complete and sold to new bmx collector (The history continues). Thank you for proving how special it is with it being the only one in the world 🤣🤣📈
@@bmx_dreaming we are talking about something that NEVER made it to production! But we live in a time that EVERYONE gets a participation trophy even if its a failure! 🏆 Thats TRUTH! & I was not trying to be mean but your insult/ dig on $ shows true colors!
@@10-Man 👍🏽
Real talk broski! FUCK BIKE COLLECTIONS, ride that turkey!
I had that exact same frame and fork in two tone pink and lavender. Square chain tubes everything.
love that he has the parts but 48s and pro rotor and slant stem are not the parts that shoud go on it they werent around in 85 and i had a green frame they were as odd as VDC there was never two of the same frames all my vdc were all differently made but reguardless super nice he has nos parts
Woody bars made byVDC
Yes sir
I own a g js I believe it's somewhere from an 83 to an 84 it has a lot of square tubing built-in peg extensions it was originally pink and purple but was stolen later recovered and repainted the only other identifying mark on the is the serial number f 350 if anyone out there has any information it would be
Awesome to hear you recovered it. Have you built up and still own it ?
@@bmx_dreaming I still own it I was trying to complete it but it's really hard to find parts considering I don't know the year and I'm going strictly by memory my mother bought it for me
@@Ghost-rv8ho Feel free to send me a private msg or email if you’d like help decoding the serial #
Idk if it's a common thing you do or not. But cutting out 1 or 2 sec pauses in people speaking slow to shorten the run time is not a good idea. It's making the video look broken and skipping, and even realizing it's not, viewers won't be able to prevent having that reaction. It's not worth the number of cuts just to save 2 or 3 mins. I honestly don't know if I'll get through the whole 18 minutes if it all the way thru.
Wow, let me head over to your page and check out your content for a good example that your speaking of. 🙌🏽
Is this really a prototype? 85?
Yes sir and already SOLD 🎯
No that's bull shit u put it in the freezer the acs hubs are crap get your self bulls I hubs kooks brothers cranks landing gear forks by se raceing cw stander bars pro neck araya rims kkt liteing peddles uni seat gjs frame chrome with pitbull brakes don't forget the dirt skert nickel plated change I still have mine want to by it
🤣🤣🤣
What pisses me off is i e had numerous pairs of z rims
For them to go for 2 fucking grand, enrages me. Yes i love his with the bullseyes
No doubt those peregrine's are sweet too
But 2 fucking grand for rims
No
Hopefully it’s just a figure of speech and your really not taking these bike that serious.. The bike turned out awesome and got an offer he couldn’t pass up.( on to others)
I remember actually throwing out a pair of yellow Z rims back in probably 87-88 that literally NOBODY wanted
Oh yeah, that suckered is UGLY. Give me a 1991 fluorescent GT World Tour ANY DAY OVER SOME LAME "prototype" that never was built up....
Yeah I think his “dayglow pink NOS GT “87” team model is a better looking bike. But then again you have every production color of 87-88 GT’s and may others you tend to collect for uniqueness 🙌🏽😎 Go my video of the “Texas round up ATX” you’ll see this was built up 🥇
Hate to say this guy’s, but there’s a rarer bike than this. THE rarest Bmx freestyle bike ever made that was featured in magazines and everything. The Uni Crossfire Bmx complete bike. Same company that did the “ Turbo” seats “ G’Nades” grips ,Crossfire wheel covers,& crossfire plates. Plus the big fat Uni pegs.
So where is this bike you speak of? Where is it in 2023. (who owns it)Or is it a unicorn bike 🦄
@@bmx_dreaming what happened to the links I just posted ?
@@juddosborne305 Don’t think YT allows links 🤷🏽♂️
@@bmx_dreaming the way it was described to me is a graphite composite frame molded over lightweight metal subframe made of thin metal rods. It’s been since the early 80s since I read the article so I can’t remember the specific details.
@@juddosborne305 So where does this bike exist today 2023 ?
Schaefer Ports
Awesome frame!! But please…stop with the one word edits. Let it talk out!! So damn distracting
Monahan Rue
Peregrine 48s for freestyle. Bullseye meh
Z rims only
🙌🏽🙌🏽🎯
I had to sell my entire collection of fifty-two, 70s-80s BMX bikes to pay my mortgage after losing my job to an injury 😢.
I can't shake the need for rebuilding my collection.
In my sale, I lost my original childhood GT Dyno compe in pink. 😮
I have nightmares of being in garages filled with old skool bikes and then I wake up!!
Fat Lip BMX USA, tell Mike I sent ya 👊🏽🌙
I thought the MCS styler would have been the rarest
