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: www.avantlink.com/click.php?t...
Special thanks also to SR Suntour. Checkout their upgrade program, which is perfect for those older or entry level bikes that could use an upgraded fork, like in this build: www.srsuntour.us/pages/upgrad...

As a lifelong cyclist, I always find love in every bike, as well as making cycling accessible to everyone. This video shows that to what MTB Elitists may think is a bad bike, is actually a completely capable bike to someone else. I bet this bike rides fantastic, and I'm happy that this kid will have a dope new ride.

I’ve just finished converting a fiat bar hybrid to a drop bar gravel and I didn’t go in to nearly as much detail as you did for this one, so I can appreciate the lengths you went to with this. Couldn’t not subscribe after watching. 👌🏻
