Nice build! I just installed a basket on the back of my BMX and it looks goofy but it's so useful. I don't do tricks, I just like BMX bikes. Just needs better brakes and a lighter gear ratio. 25/9 in a town that's 80% hills is a bit rough. XD

Possible solution to the frame cable guides issue: a shifter adjuster to catch the cable end, if still too large, sand out its treads until it does. The saddle, i would try to fill the whole with black matt silicone.

Follow-up... That BMX "Spinner" got a full service. Cleaned and lubed everything that moves. Frame is in remarkable condition for a "yard bike". Has a beater handlebar, far to small on it right now but until I find a kid walking while their friends are riding, it lives indoors now.

That bike is mega rad! Turned out great. Inexpensive but functional parts, slightly off color scheme between frame and fork but doesn't hurt the eyes. Super trusty 7speed shifting. If should name one thing I personally would change: the box into a basket, but that is personal preference. And BTW: love your video editing and commenting: no useless turns and loops and talking to make the video longe as it has to be. Time flew by, while watching. Thanks! Keep up your fun.

Fantastic video! I just acquired one of these old GT's. In the budget vein, have you considered doing a video on tools? What "bicycle specific" tools would you consider essential for doing a build like this? Many of us have basic mechanic tools but lack the bike tools to make one of these projects really go well.

20:56 "I know zipties are'nt the strongest solution" I beg to differ greatly! First of all, the ties would cut into the plastic easily under load and stress. So what would break first is the box. Secondly I had a front-rack break at all three contact points to the fork within a week or so on a big tour. I fixed one failure after the other with zipties and rode another 1500k over the spikiest and cobbliest roads of spain and morroco with close to 10kg on the rack at all times with no issues. So as far as i am concerned zipties are way stronger than any iron, aluminium or cheap steel parts!

I have a GT with that frame style I found in the garbage. Think it may be older because it doesn't have front shocks. I kept in my shed because the frame reminds me little of the SE quadangle. Its not in to bad of shape but does need a lot of new parts.

This just came up on my suggested feed. I've already had a love for bikes like this in my heart but have forgotten about it until I seen this video. I had old Diamond Back Accent from the 90s that I never got the chance of building because the seat post was welded to the frame with rust. HOWEVER! Immediately after seeing this video I went on FB Marketplace and snagged the same bike different color and I'm planning on building a similar build to your GT. Thanks for inspiring me! Also where can I get the same basket from?

I did a similar built on a similar bike from the same era - a nice yellow Rebound. It has the same canti brake cable routing as this one. I tried your approach with the cable inner, but I didn't like the brake feel on the rear. Instead I used a band-on cable stop on the top tube. That allowed a more conventional set up for the v-brake cabling. The brakes are great. Great build and the lambda pedals are a great choice.
@waveywheelies

Thank you! That’s definitely a good option. The rear brake doesn’t feel bad on this set up, so I’m going to run it as-is for a while.. might try find special ferrule or modify something to have a nicer fit
