1998 GT pro-series BMX

Like Gary Turners first steel frame, GT continues 10 push CrMo to its limits. With new developments in CrMo tubing, GT can use expanded tube diameters and thinner walls to shave weight and increase stiffness. The U.S.A.-built 1998 Pro Series line uses this technology along with threadless steering systems, Weinmann aluminum rims and GT Mohawk hubs to create the fastest CrMo race bikes available. The pro-sized handlebar on the Pro Series fits perfectly with the inverted GT Piston stem. The classic GT pierced top tube is still used on the CrMo Pro Series bike.

GT 100% 4130 CrMo frame with 20.5" top tube • Slammed geometry with shorter fork blades for improved tability and better acceleration • GT 100% CrMo fork with 1-1/8* blades and threadless steer tube • GT 100% CrMo crank 180mm • GT CNCd 44 tooth chainwheel • Dia-Compe cold-forged direct-pull brake and MX-1 lever • GT alloy platform pedals • GT 4130 CrMo Pro handlebar with narrow width and increased flat section to keep your grips and brake ever out of the handlebar bend • GT two-piece padded saddle • Colors: Chrome, Gloss White, Gloss Black.
