Why's that mate?

Same applies for other frames too mate!Hutch Trick Stars,Haro's,Redlines.Main reason being that in 1985 most of the big U.S manufacturers moved production to the far east to take advantage of the cheaper labour and to keep up with demand.Usually as a result of this quality usually suffered in some way shape or form.Demand was so high that some of the U.S stuff was shocking quality with stuff flying out the door so quick,but were generally better than the asian versions,therefore making the 1984 models of most of these bikes more desirable as they hail from the country where they originated.cosmetically it's usually hard to distinguish between the two unless you really know what you are looking for.To all intents and purposes a 1987 performer will look just as cool as a 1984 pro performer,and only the anoraks will be able to tell the difference!depend how anal you are or your budjet allows you to be! :daumenhoch:
