GT Experts - differences between world tour and pro performer?

(1/7) > >>

Was just browsing through the for sale section and saw this thread http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,188285.0.html
Not being a GT man, i'm not up on these at all. So what's the difference between a world tour and a pro performer. Was one a complete and the other a frame/forks set only, or is it simply colours/decals?

The chairman:
Google it  :daumenhoch:

I'm no expert Andy but I've always been under the impression the difference is parts spec, colour and decals  ???

Clint is quite right as far as catalogue spec is concerned. Full bikes were advertised with different parts, at least this is what the 86-catalogue shows.
I can try to upload it and drop the link below if you want to.

Regarding the frame and fork-sets there are servaral other indications but these aren't Pro - or World Tour specific as far as I've learned from Nick
( ...maybe I'm a bad student?  :-[ ), such as where the serial numbers are stamped dropout (...left I believe) or BB, the serial number it self can tell the year it was made in and where it was made.
But I would trust in Nicks words, who said that the frame number doesn't tell if a frame was originaly sold as a Pro - or a World Tour Perfromer.

As Nick said also in the thread you mentioned, most World Tour Performers came with double cable guide on the front fork. Mine for example came with a single cable guide. That could mean it has the wrong forks, the wrong decals or it is one of those Pro World Tour Perfromers - I don't know if "rare" is the right term to choose here - that just came with a single cable guide.

If World Tour Perfomers had colours available that Pro Perfromers didn't, this I don't know. But I'm sure Nick knows the answer.

Hope that helped a little bit  :-[
