nitrohopper:
hey guys the other day my wife said to me that when she was talking about my gt at work one of the lads had said he had an old school bike in his shed n said he didnt want it so she could have it , didnt think much of it as sometimes things get said and nowt happens so anyway u can imaging my surprise when my wife rings me today and says ive got the bike its black and got some bulldog thingies . so when i got home tonight my wife said its in the boot so you can imagine mt stuned expresion when i opened the boot of the car to find this
its a gt performer not sure of the year though frame no yc98eo8752 does yc98 mean its 1998 it has bulldog brakes a piston stem stamped gt bars a stubbie gt seat and a huge seat post
BMX1973:
very nice 8)
nitrohopper:
am i right is it a performer is it a 98 is there a gt guru here that can help me out
nitrohopper:
ive had a look through the museum and its looks to be a 96/97 not overly sure but it sure does look like it
fischflo:
you're right it's confusing
on one hand: your yc98eo8752 would be MAY 1998
according to the examples on -> http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=71652
" YC96H39112 YC for the factory. 96 for the year 1996. H for the 8th month August. "
" YC4H3221 YC for the factory. 4 for the year 1994. H for the 8th month August. "
on the other hand your're right: already the 1998 models have that ugly banana bend in the upper tube
there's one 1998 that looks like yours (http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=375376) ; but immediately one guy corrects him: you're a 1997, like it better anyway etc.
.......SORRY :D stumped
