Not long ago we witnessed “the bike scramble” an exciting sport which exposed pedal cyclists similar enjoyment as motorcyclists.
In the first moments, scrambling was done on specialised road bicycles. Tons of wear and tear on the bike.
As the sport grew it became unavoidable that there were change and thus BMX came into being. BMX – or Bicycle Motocross offers similar buzz as spills or the ‘engine’ kind. usually there must have been a bike fabricated to haul the substantial stuff.
1979:, a welding engineer, Gary Turner, together with Richard Long, a cycle shop entrepreneur started a corporation, to be known as GT Bicycles, delved into assembling of BMX bicycles only. Everything happened for the reason that in early 70s, Gary’s son started getting mixed up in the relatively new BMX game. As an engineer, Gary had an attraction in the plan and durability of the frames and discovered them as fragile and weighty. This urged him to create his son’s frames. He took his proficiency of the drag racing and reworked it to making the piping in the design of the BMX bicycles. This worked for the young Turner and in a short time the BMX’s frames were in high demand hence, he started manufacturing other BMX riders frames.
1974:, the bicycle shop entrepreneur Richard Long took an interest in Gary’s frames’ popularity and approached him with intent to becoming a dealer for his products. in 79, they established a association jointly.
In spite of certain obstacles, the corporation developed to turn into among the world’s biggest producer of not only BMX bikes, but also mountain and leisure bicycles as well, and as the company developed the array of bikes did so too.
GT bikes are identifiable by the logo, a GT stamp and these specifically fabricated bicycles are to please BMX enthusiasts and those who hit the roads, the trails and the mountains.
