Bike Of The Day: Jason’s 1986 GT World Tour

This Bike Of The Day thing s getting crazy now!! Today’s featured bike is a 1986 GT World Tour sent in by Jason Orlandini. This bike is so clean and the mix of the chrome plated and polished gold parts take it to another level. This bike is loading with lots of vintage bells and whistles. Be sure to give this bike a rating via the sliders below.

Inspiration was the European Eddie Fiola world tour bike used specifically for the European tour. Obviously this is a custom build that is different from the bike used by Eddie. The Frame and forks were restored with a two stage powder coating on the frame , and I had the front forks re- chromed being they had seen better days. Special Thanks to my Friend on this build Timmy “Lightz” Schackne. You are a true innovator in building & blueprinting  BMX artwork. Special Thanks as well to CHABY Owner Chaby’s Coatings Massachusetts specializing in Gold plating , Chroming & Powder coating. ~ JASON ORLANDINI

haha!  thanks Oscar!  it's always appreciated bro. 

yeah, i wasn't planning to build this frame/fork but i had most of the black parts already, as well as the white bars and post.  i wanted to keep those white to kinda tie that look back to the OG ones.  i only had to chase down the seat clamp and a few other things.  but i always wanted a day glo so i decided to take a crack at it. 

thanks, as always, for your feedback!

“Out of all guitars Sadowsky made for Prince, the purple floral one saw the most use”: Prince’s iconic custom ‘Parade Tour’ guitar, used in the America video, is up for auction – with a price tag of $400,000

The eye-popping Sadowsky build starred in the America video and features artwork by reggae musician Wayne Jarrett

Prince's iconic custom-made Sadowsky T-type electric guitar – which saw action during The Purple One's Parade tour in 1986 – is expected to sell for up to $400,000 at auction.

Julien's upcoming “Played, Worn, and Torn II” event will take place at Nashville's Musician’s Hall of Fame later this month, and Prince's all-purple Sadowsky build is set to be one of the highlight lots.

Renowned luthier Roger Sadowsky launched his namesake brand in 1979 and would go on to build guitars for Prince, Jason Newsted and Paul Simon, among others. In 1985, he pieced together this striking Tele-styled guitar to commemorate the end of Prince's Purple Rain tour that year.

Its metallic purple finish is decorated with floral artwork created by reggae artist Wayne Jarrett. After making its way to Prince, the guitar later featured in the music video for America , and was used onstage during the 1986 Parade tour.

The 25.5" scale length guitar with serial number #179 is one of six Sadowsky Telecaster builds for Prince, each of which were based on the Hohner “MadCat” he had become synonymous with.

Two were straight-up MadCat copies; two featured copper tubing that, erm, ran up the neck to spew out soapy liquid; and the final two were pink and purple floral creations.

The eye-catching instrument pairs an alder body with a maple neck, with its 24-fret fingerboard flashing some floral cosmetic flourishes. Jarrett has also signed and dated his artwork on the guitar's lower bout.

Specs include Gotoh sealed tuners, a chrome DiMarzio hardtail bridge, and a graphite nut. There's also a cavity in the guitar's rear carved out to house Prince's wireless guitar system that was routed into the guitar before it was finished.

Sadowsky had originally wired a pair of Seymour Duncan vintage-style staggered pole Stratocaster pickups into the guitar. However, its bridge pickup was later swapped for a Hot Rail single-coil, with Julien’s theorizing the move was made to help the guitar go toe-to-toe with the boosted output of his EMG-equipped Cloud guitars.

Prince’s yellow Cloud 3 guitar had sold for less than $10,000 in 2005, but its second trip to the auction block earlier this year saw it raise $900,000 and smash world records .

This purple axe isn’t expected to go for quite as much, but has still been estimated to fetch upwards of $400,000.

“Out of all six guitars Sadowsky made for Prince, the purple floral one saw the most use, and is the same guitar featured on the cover of Duane Tudahl's book,” says Prince guitar historian John Woodland.

The latest Julien’s event takes place on November 20 and 21, with plenty of interesting items on offer. John Lennon's Futurama guitar , which played a key role in the Beatles' early history, and a special Canadian-flag emblazoned Van Halen guitar are also set to go under the hammer.

Head to Julien’s Auctions to peruse the full collection.

1986 GT World Tour

My all-time favorite bike.

These days, everyone and their uncle are going on about how their bike is the 'Holy Grail' of this or that.  Well, I don't pay 'em no mind - because my World Tour is the 'Holy Grail', the 'El Dorado', the 'Jimmy Hoffa', the 'Atlantis', and the 'Secret Vaults of Al Capone' of freestyle bikes all rolled into one.  USA made 'FS' stamped frame, and all 100% original save the chain, which actually predates the bike; I had it on my Mongoose when I got the GT.

My Mom and my Aunt Elaine bought me this bike for Christmas 1986.  It was custom ordered from a little bike shop operating out of a garage on East Center Street, Lee, Massachusetts.  I never changed anything on it except the chain.  I only rode this bike for about a year before I got into motocross and then it sat, so it is not too beat up.  My parents held it for me for years and I recently re-claimed it.  It will be with me until the purple cows come home.  Skol to the flatland...

Specs (now pay attention, 007):

Frame / Fork / Bars - GT Stem - GT Mallet Seatpost - GT stamped Seatpost Clamp - GT stamped Seat - Viscount Dominator Rims - OGK Tires - GT 2.00 front / 1.75 rear Chainwheel - SR Sakae BMX 43t X 1/8 Disc - GT stamped Crank - SR Cr-Mo Tubular 175X24 Pedals - SR SP-474 Brake Levers - Dia Compe 183 Brakes - Dia Compe MX Frame / Fork Standers - GT Grips - ODI Mushrooms Rotor - Odyssey Gyro Chain - Izumi
