Good Points: Value for money Out-of-the-box rideability
Bad Points: Grips wore out too quickly Crank loosened up a few times Would prefer chrome rims
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.

I fell in love with this bike as soon as i saw it! The color was perfect having a maroon body and chrome on the fork, handlebars,crankset,and sprocket. The ride is awesome and the gyro is really nice!I was surprised to see that it only came with a one piece crankset. It being a pro bike and all i figured it would have a 3 piece set. The sprocket was a little thin, but still nice. Most of the bike is made out of 4130 chromoly. The stickers are nice and look really really good.

the jamei beswick pro is amazeing for the money. It must be one of the best all rounders as you can use it for street, dirt, vert and race. I've seen it on some websites for around 200 pounds. All round great buy
