GHP Build Is Complete

Greg | May 4, 2008

Well here is my new GHP - what I think represents the coolest-looking and riding BMX bicycle built up with the best components that exist as of today. Although my experience on this bike is limited so far, I’ll be bold enough to say that this is the best bike I’ve ever ridden. The bottom bracket is placed just right for my long legs (36-inch inseam), and it just feels great. I love this bike, and there is a difference when a world champion like Greg Hill is behind its development.

With a total build cost of around $2600, I think it was worth it. Though it’s just been completed, I did have a chance to ride it around here a bit and it runs like a well oiled machine - so smooth and refined compared to what I’m used to. The frame’s build quality is exquisite. Welds are nice, neat, and consistent and the black finish is beautiful. The GHP logos are laid in under the clearcoat, which really adds to overall look of quality. I can’t say much more until I get a chance to run this bike more, so I’ll cut it short here until then
