GT Bicycles – the story of an iconic marque

[Words and photography of Hans Rey by Steve Thomas]

Back in 1972, Gary Turner set out to make a durable BMX frame for his son Craig. That frame soon caught the eye of other youngsters at the local BMX track – and so, he made a few more. At that time most kids were hitting the BMX tracks on bodged Schwinn Stingrays, which were not really up to the job, hence Turner brought his engineering experience and theory gained from welding drag racing cars to create his first Gary Turner-branded BMX frames.
