Hi Guys,

latest reply from Markbikeman "quote"

"There is a serial number on inside left dropout. The holes are a mystery. They  are precisely positioned. They were done after frame was plated.  One hole goes through the serial number making one digit not readable.  Greg Hill was working for GT when he started up GHP. This frame was made in the same Japan factory as GT and has the same style serial numbers.  They decode the same. The number indicates 1984. I also compared to all GHP photos I could find. GHP was the only one who did the nice job blending the seatstay into the toptube. Beautiful work.  Mark"

My aunt lives in the next state, she will then ship it over to the UK.

Questions are;

1) Is it worth starting a build with this frame, which will end up costing about £300 and it has defaults.

2) How often does a GHP pro1 come on the market?

I really want to start building this bike. This was the bike I finish racing on in 86.
Mine didn't have holes in the rear drops either.

What do you Recken??????????  Please offer any advice.

Thanks for your help so far.
Paul.

R Al was riding his retro GHP cruiser at the Heywood BMX jam thing the other week and I thought it looked really nice, I was slightly jealous. The New School version rides superbly Team Rhodes will be sporting another GHP cruiser in the 2015 season  ^"^

could be way out but from memory those forks look similar to the kastan made mid 90s haro forks or the kuwi champion forks. I have not been bothered to look up said forks but the drops remind of them.

HUTCHMAN:
drops on the forks look like Tange Mega Fork to me ??

Jono:
