GT even made identical profile cranks back in the day. Honestly the bicycle was a POS, but…. It taught me how ball bearings work I guess.

GT did not make their 3 piece cranks. Profile was contracted to make them and stamp them with the "GT" logo.
Yes you’re correct. Didn’t word myself right.

Got 2 of the blue Yamaha GTs and 2 of the Hyper Showtime bikes 16 and 20” . My 3 boys and Grandson used to ride the wheels off these bikes. Someday plan on building the Suzuki .

I had an Interceptor. Broke everything on it, including the frame -- All except for the one-piece cranks. They were indestructible.

Opted to put one-piece on my next bike.
