Restoring an old GT into a kid's DREAM BIKE

There is a kid on my bike team with a hand-me-down GT Aggressor that even in it’s prime wasn’t up for the types of rides this kid is capable of. He’s a young Star Wars obsessed padowan rider who is strong in the bike force, but he needs a bike that will channel his powers and not get in his way. Fortunately, my partner Performance Bicycle, the awesome folks at SR Suntour, and my bike bin have all joined forces to turn this old Razor Crest into an N1 class starfighter. Be sure to take a look at the links to my partners below, and in the meantime, may the bike force be with you.

Checkout the full parts list below, and when you purchase, please help support my channel and purchase from my affiliate partner, Performance Bicycle: https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=dbc1b0c8-d7e0-456d-84ec-281d3a696709&website_id=afb1368d-7917-48d2-b4ba-3f06d981ebaf&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.performancebike.com%2F
