Bro you Rock . I’m 47 year old guy who is recovering from congestive heart failure and been going through a mid life crisis well not that bad but while home from work on my recovery I got back into RC cars , I bought a Powell Peralta Skateboard and feverishly been researching retro bmx and freestyle bikes . Looking for a Nice Haro master and boom i stumble onto this video and you opened my eyes to building a nice 26 inch bmx cruiser in the meantime . I never thought of this and if I know myself I will have about 3 built in the next two months 😂 keep up the awesome videos .
51 years old here. I dug out some old GT cruiser bars the other day that i've been hoarding for about 25-30 years (that were gonna go on a bike that i got rid of long long ago). I was about to toss them and thought, "man, i should build a cruiser and use these". Somehow your video ended up on my feed tonight. Must be fate. You just really inspired me to build a bike now. Thanks! 🤙🏽
DAMN BRO, WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT HAVING THE GT BARS, STEM, FORKS, AND OTHER PARTS YOU WISHED FOR AS A KID MADE ME SHED A TEAR AS I COULDN'T AFFORD THOSE ITEMS AS WELL, EITHER WAY I MADE MYSELF A MANS BMX BIKE BY ADDING OLD STINGRAY VBARS ON MY MTB AND MOST DAYS I STILL FEEL LIKE A KID RIDING MY OLD BMX BIKE THAT TOOK ME EVERYWHERE. GOOD SHOW, BRO.
hmmm, I painted the letters BMX on my 3 speed that I spray painted black when i was 12. tried to put some custom parts on it. im 54, still geeked on bikes, and still broke. must be a connection
We had to use the old solid forks and the long 1 piece cranks we would take off from Schwinn 10 speeds back in the late 70's,,, nobody could afford 3 pc cranks but we raced um,,,broke a many WEBCO frames,,,lol
Since seeing your video I’ve built three of these bmx cruisers with old 26” mtbs. 94 GT Timberline, 95 GT Tempest, and a 92 Trek 800. I love them all! I’ve kept the 7 speed cassettes on them though. Thanks for the inspiration.
Apart from cool, what are your reasons for turning them into bmx ? Have they become more comfortable (maybe due to more upright position ) and manouverable ?
@@sauravbasu8805I speak for myself, but here's why I do it. MTB geometry is a lot better for a 6'2"dude than a purpose-made BMX bike. A MTB can have a lot better materials than most BMX. Even the best vintage MTBs don't hold a candle to even inexpensive modern ones, so they're cheap. And the small-frame MTBs hold very little value even by those standards. The '92 GT Richter 8 that I bought brand new is waaaay frisky as a single-speed with upright bars, rigid fork, and a shorter stem. Even as a MTB, it's lighter than those SE bikes. No shade on those; they're rad. I'm just cheap and want to use one of the several bikes that I already own, lol.
Wow! As an 80's Alumni Person Myself.My Heart still Flutters anytime I see BMX build videos.And This one just been added to My collection.Much appreciation for Your decision for The BMX/Mountain Bike transformation.Nice Work indeed.😎👍🏾
I think the thing about this that I find the most interesting, is how hilariously more usable it looks than my actual 26inch Fit BMX I just bought. Albeit I would cross the street if I was passing a skatepark on this specialized hahahah Well done guy! BTW, bars should be parallel with forks, if not because it looks ridiculous and akin to druggers- but because that's how the rise and backsweep were designed on 2 piece bars. On flat mtb bars- the rise and backsweep are based on being parallel with ground.
I built an old GT Team Avalanche from the frame up 30 years ago. Can’t part with the bike and it’s old MTB tech, but you may have inspired me to change it to bmx.
Hello. Thanks for the video. Actually I do the same "project" like yours. I use old cro-mo MTB frame and many stuffs from my old bike. Generally I Followed the principal "no waste". So used one cog from my old casette. I made from plastic pipe the spacer sleeves. I used old crank (actually I had to rebuit these old one because it wasn't the screws to keep chainring). New chainring. Instead of new Single Speed Tension arm i used old rear derailleur. Cost about 40$. I used this bike to cycling with my 6 years old son on the city pavement - it works perfect.
(I’m 59 years young) Looks pretty f’n awesome!!! I’ve made more than a few of these and always end up selling them! Not that I wanted to sell, just people love paying outrageous prices for something they can do themselves. Anyway the only thing I would have done different is the tires as I’m partial to Maxxis Hookworms. 😎👍
My 26" BMX lose parts build is a GT Avalanche. I always wanted a triple triangle GT but had no reason to have one since stiff was not something I wanted of a hardtail mtb. A BMX build it worked perfectly for.
Beautiful build! I too lusted after Landing Gear forks as a kid but could never afford them. I may just follow your lead here and piece together my own big boy BMX. Cheers from Hawaii!
one thing i learned from working alongside a BMX maniac is that the spoke tension should be near the limit, after copious tri-flow into the spoke/nipple/rim interface. tight tight wheels make for happy BMXers
Great video, thank you! I'm going to look into doing something similar with my '93 Rockhopper. Been laid up in the garage for years n years after I got my 29r, just couldn't part with it. Excited to see new adventures with it!🤘
So cool - love it! I just stripped my too small for me '93 Stumpjumper M2 of all its later XT M739 parts and listed it to sell. This may change my mind as the bike has huge sentimental value having owned it since '93 but easier to let go after acquiring a '92 S-Works M2 Duralcan. Hmm... decisions decisions.
I built a gt 24 inch up but used landing gear and all genuine mid school gt parts, do the builds have many similarities, however I’m only 5-9 and going bigger than 24 inch wheels makes the bike less like a bmx and more like an old beach cruiser in feel. I’ve been doing smash up builds for years I’m glad I’m not the only one
That is sweet! You didnt compromise the frame nor the purpose of the geometry thats intended for that frame. It can take on trails or the street. BMX tricks and MTB trails in one. Definitely a very cool custom style!
I've been planning on doing the same thing to a 26" Diamond Back frame that has a really short standover height like most 20" BMX bikes have. Thanks to your sweet video, I have a much better idea how to go about it. That chain tensioner was a major problem solver. I might go with a laid back seat post on my build. Thanks man. Great video.
I have a ‘96 Cannondale ‘small’ MTB with the fat tube aluminum frame. I’m going to convert it to BMX. Question…..why would we a chain tensioner? I have a 26” Redline SQB26 BMX bike that doesn’t have a tensioner, and if rides awesome.
@@reddsshaker3477 MTBs have different dropouts than BMX bikes. Therefore, pulling the rear wheel back to tighten the chain might be tricky with those shorter MTB dropouts, but I think maybe it still could be done with the correct chain length. A chain tensioner just seems like an easier way to go about it once the rear derailleur is removed.
I have a 26" 08 GT timberline i turned into a BMX i still need to buy the ridged fork but it's so much nicer to ride now easier on my back and I'm like you i grew up in the 70s and 80s riding BMX bikes as a kid.
Love the video and love the bike! I found this video by looking for ideas for a cruiser conversion I was thinking about doing on an old Gary Fisher Wahoo that I found for free on Craigslist. I'm 56 and I grew up riding/racing BMX bikes, as well! I'm finding a lot of inspiration from your build and can't wait to get started on my own. I appreciate the product links and hope my project turns out as good as yours! Liking and subscribing. Thanks much!
With an early 29'r unicrown fork, that bike is a perfect example of BMX/Street punk bike! Jus need the Van's tires to go with the grips. Annnnnnd, BMX pads!!! My current BMX is an RSD Middlechild. Pithy, punkass bike! Love the transformation of the Ole Special Ed. That repurposed the bike to be a fun factory so you can have those "Calgon, take me away" rides in the neighborhood. Would be a blast on singletrack, as well. Well done bike build by Dad's workshop, Inc.!!!
I have just bought a 1999 GT Tequesta medium frame bike and have given it a similar treatment, still waiting to fit a rigid fork as it has some super heavy RS Judy C's. It is quite a heavy bike right now but it rides very nice. However I am keeping the gears on the back as I live in a hilly place where gears are necessary . I am on a tight budget so I am upgrading as and when I have money to so, but it is at least rideable.
the pieces are all there in front of us but putting them in the right order is another thing , this is a great thing , well done that man ,,,,,,, even i could do that now that i am going to use de pues brain .
@@LemonySnicket-EUC i have an old mtb, i see people on fix gears and mtbs hitting the skate park they jump over rails and boxes. I bought some pegs to install on the bike, gonna try hitting the park. I have a modern mtb and an bmx too but i would like to have something that i dont care to scratch and more confortable since i am 6ft and a bit fat.
Looks great. And the editing is really nice and gives a very realistic vibe. The only think I noticed is that frame seems to be a little short imo. Otherwise, perfect.
I did the same thing to a 24" wheel MTB that was discarded. As an aged sixty-something person I feel a bit embarrassed riding around on it, but now I see it's a "thing"! Perhaps people are looking at me and thinking, hey, I want one of those!
Yes, keep riding! Everyone our age used to ride them in the past, and there's nothing wrong with riding them today. It's all about having fun on 2 wheels anyway you like!.
Awesome dream build that I bet It will keep a smile on face forever . As with a background in Bmx's and Dirt Jumpers there would be few changes that I would apply and maybe will make the build even cooler : A dartmoor reel pro v.2 singlespeed rear hub , some modern doublewall rims for example Ns bikes or Dartmoor (there are plenty to choose from) and also some bmx cranks people use on Dirt Jumpers . If the wheel build would be a pass than there is a wethepeople patrol sprocket with 33 teeth that would direct mount on bmx cranks and would keep the gear ratio pretty good with the single speed conversion. Also for seat there are few fat pivotal seats that would make the bike look even better . Only my humble opinion .
The great thing about a custom build is that it never has to be done, and you can keep changing things up until it's just right. Thank you for the ideas, and thanks for watching!
The bike turned out awesome and the way you filmed/edited the video made it enjoyable to watch all the way through.
Glad you enjoyed it!
same here...nice...keep it up 👍😎
Yup!!! No stupid music just the meat and potatoes! Good video !

It’s perfect. 🙌 Now you need to make a ramp out of scrap boards and cinder blocks in the middle of the street, and jump it!
......with no helmet!!
10/10. You nailed every aspect of the build. Small aluminum frame perfect for Bmx retro look and feel.
nice build I did a MTBMX conversion on an old stumpjumper but I keep it a 1x7 to help out my knees on hills
I think the thing about this that I find the most interesting, is how hilariously more usable it looks than my actual 26inch Fit BMX I just bought. Albeit I would cross the street if I was passing a skatepark on this specialized hahahah

Great build. I love the single speed tension arm. Seat up for me, old school style
Decent conversion💯 love it,I converted a jamis boss beach cruiser 7 speed into a fast ripper replica,love these kind of builds
I converted an old 90's magna into a fixed gear. Love it!
I built an old GT Team Avalanche from the frame up 30 years ago. Can’t part with the bike and it’s old MTB tech, but you may have inspired me to change it to bmx.

Why do you need a chain tensioner to begin with? I have a 26” Redline BMX bike, and it has no tensioner.
@@reddsshaker3477 Because the MTB frame has no way to tension the chain by moving the rear wheel.
I love it. I raced BMX and did freestyle in the 80's. Now i have to build a mtb/ bmx bike.
Cool build, well done !
Absolutely love this build and it is just what my youngest daughter wants. Inspired.
I love this! I picked up an old Diamondback Outlook to do something just like this.
Love it I too grew up in the 70s and 80s and miss my old BMX bike
This is so sick. Im doing something similar with an old walmart 26" mtb. Thanks for the ideas on parts
I like it. Chrome and polished aluminum always look best on bikes with shades or color. Good job.
Nice, I just recently bought a MTB, and already changing stuff out, feel like the late 70’s early 80’s all over again
Sweet! Love the creative upcycling of an old mtb frame. Inspiring me to do a similar build.

That is super cool. Bmx guy here. Was gifted a Trek 3700 and want to do something like this. Very inspirational
Stem and forks go perfect with the bike ! Good job !
my buddy gave me his 2010 Specialized Hardrock. I'm looking to do this conversion. Great video!
That's a super light frame, so would be a fun around town rider. Great idea.
You're right. The frame is very light, but the 3 pound steel fork made this bike weigh 25.8 lbs. Haha!
@@DePuesshopthat's still pretty light weight in the grand scheme of things.
love it i been looking for cheap old mtb to do the same
That's pretty darn cool. I've got a 2000 hard rock I'm looking into changing. Just trying to figure out what I want to do with it.

Great mod, I hang a backpack off the cross bar when I go shopping.
What a cool build, nice job man
Oh yeah. I like the conversion.
Awesome! I've been wanting to try this exact sort of handlebar/frame geometry pairing for a while now. Looks great.
Please do !
This is crazy, i was literally just thinking about doing this to my bmx bike, i think i may attempt to start it today
the pieces are all there in front of us but putting them in the right order is another thing , this is a great thing , well done that man ,,,,,,, even i could do that now that i am going to use de pues brain .
Thats sick! I love the tensioner
Excellent work, I want to do this to my Orbea 29" hardtail.
That bike can cruise and hit some jumps
layback seatpost is a suggestion killer build keepem coming...
Thanks for the video!!!!! I got an old dual suspension mtb that I wanted to convert to a bmx style bike
I did the same to my 26" old mountain bike but i did add a mid-drive motor to it but i must say yours looks way better 👏🏽😊
Sweet vid ! sweet build ! Inspired me to re build and customize my old Raleigh Burner !
This inspired me to do some bmx-mtb hybrid with my old steel 26
Epic wheel transitions 😂😂
Absolutely love what you did
Looks wise, I like it better down. Usability wise, it has to be up, especially with general cruising!
looks great, i have a klein comp pulse that i was thinking about doing the same with.
Thats really cool, should feel even better with bars inline with forks
love it man!!!! I've got a specialized that o want to do the same thing . thanks for the awesome inspiration
What a great watch. I REALLY like that idea.
Congrats ! Simply wonderful !
Also I always wanted to do this one stumpjumper but a 20 inch kids bike
Found your channel by accident....I see👀you are DROPPING BOMBS💣💣💣on them✊💯😎!!!
Thank you very much!
Bad ass i love it .im doing it to a gary fisher.i had the same vision for it.
Love the idea of a 26" BMX. I'd probably have gone with a Magura HS33 rear brake for the hell of it but I get that there's a budget. Great bike.
I suspect he flips these. If it were a keeper, I agree!

@@reddsshaker3477 can you do tricks on it?
@@rodolfoo3015tricks would be limited with no pegs. 24" wheels is kind of the max wheel size for decent freestyle.

Love it. Keep the Legends alive.
Nice! I've been looking for a video on how to convert an old MTB into a BMX cruiser. Thank you!
Awesome build
It's perfect! Such a rad bike.
Ah I have this frame. Now I have goals for it 🎉
I think that it turned out pretty nice!
50 years old dad pulls out Vans grips : "I thought it will look cool"
20 years old totally cool me : WTF they even exist?
Looks great. And the editing is really nice and gives a very realistic vibe. The only think I noticed is that frame seems to be a little short imo. Otherwise, perfect.
