General Comments

When I bought this GT Bestwick Pro Freestyle BMX, I was looking for a freestyle bike that I could buy as an entire bike rather than spending large amounts of time and money building up.
I bought it on special, AU$500 reduced from $600, which made it better than most other if not all other bikes in the price bracket.
It rode well out of the box, although I changed the 4-piece handlebars over with a 2-piece pair from a specialized fatboy vegas, and changed the 14t sprocket with an ACS claw 16t for better gearing.
The grips wore out too quickly, and the BB loosens up a bit after some long skate park sessions, so a decent crank setup might be worth considering, but that's getting picky.
Also, to split hairs, I would have preferred chrome rims (black rims standard) for better braking, so that's another long-term upgrade.
Overall, the bike is awesome, and in terms of value for money (especially with the discount) you can't go wrong.
