1998 GT speed-series-team spin BMX

For the technology-driven racer, there is only one choice for the ultimate BMX bike. Tested around the world by Team GT, the 1998 Speed Series line offers race-proven results, uncompromised performance and U.S.A. construction to create the most advanced bicycle available. All Speed Series bikes start with a GT U.S.A.-made 6061 aluminum frame featuring Box chainstays, GT three-piece cranks and are finished with a durable ball burnished luster.

All components on the Speed Series Team are worthy of mention, including the embroidered GT saddle with CrMo rails.

You know about the 6061 aluminum frame and the silky-smooth cartridge sealed bearing crankset, but the true touch of class, is in the details. Such as the gorgeous aluminum bearing spacer, consistent welds and lustrous ball burnished finish.

The Speed Series Team with SPIN composite wheels uses the same parts specification as the Speed Series Team.
