I saw this sick 2023 GT Speed Series with a 90’s era inspired decals and polished colorway and I had to get it featured as Bike Of The Day! There’s so much to love about this build that I don’t know where to begin. I wish I got more photos of this bike but I’ll take what I can get in this case. And I have to give big props to Justus Standley for keeping GT Bike’s legacy alive. Give this bike a rating for the Bike Of The Month and Bike Of The Year charts.
Introducing Project 96: A Modern BMX with Mid-School Cool
The 2023 GT Speed Series gets a retro refresh with a nod to BMX history. Inspired by GT’s legendary 1996 World Championship-winning livery—ridden to victory by the iconic Dale Holmes—this bike blends modern performance with classic style.
With its hand-polished aluminum frame and ultra-rad decals, Project 96 is more than just a race bike—it’s a tribute to an era when BMX was a cultural movement. It’s about speed, style, and the pure joy of riding with friends.
Big thanks to:
