Not 100% on who made the 85's ( without looking up the info ) , the early ones 83/maybe 84 were made by VDC . Differences are gussett added under the downtube & forks are kinda slash cut at the bottom , earlier ones were just flat bottom forks .

Greg had just come off and incredible season of TOTAL domination in the Pro ranks (1982) and was kicking some tail in 83' also. GT bikes was his sponsor, but due to some contract (or lack there of) disputes, as well as a need for some new motivation, Greg shocked the BMX world by showing up at the 83' NBL Grands in a GHP uniform and riding a GHP bike!
Prior to this event, Gregs Dad had been running a little company called Star Products - most famous for their "Star Bars" and GHP was kind of like taking Star Products to the next level. Having the hottest Pro, a killer team, and good coverage in the mags, GHP thrived for the first year and a half. But the industry as a whole was peaking out, and evolving into different directions.
