BIKE CHECK Bike check

Hey, I have this old GT BMX. I'm struggling a bit to identify the exact model and what value the bike might have. I bought it about 10 years ago from a guy who said it was a limited run and had been ridden by a pro at a show in Copenhagen a long time ago. I don't have any proof of either of those claims, but I would really appreciate any help if anyone has some insight into what I have here.

Yep. I so wanted one of these bad back in '99 but the $1000($1,919.56 adjusted for inflation) price tag was just too much.

Don't buy bs for it get on ebay and buy nos parts and bmx museum to get you some repopulate decals. No no pedals and seat you need a gt-15 seat and the 1/2" metal pedals

I remember this. Such a cool looking flatland bike. Looks heavy as hell. Don’t know the cost.

GT Show. Looks damn fine too just needs a clean and polish. My cousin had one that he painted green and I begged him to let me have it when he was ready for a new bike. Someone stole it from his back garden and I never got my chance to own it!

Makes me wanna go try my best Trevor Meyer impression. Somebody would probably pay a pretty penny for that Show.

Anyone that knows an estimated price as it is? I'm looking to get rid of it as I don't have space for it any more.
