1985 Gt Performer build
Quadog:
Hi All,
I got this 85 Jap made GT a couple of months ago starting to take shape now but not really feeling the love with it at moment not sure on the white tuffs with the blue tyres and will swap out the straight post for lay back also the front 901 doesn’t allow the bars to be spun round not that I’d be doing any spinning round but defeats the object of putting a Potts mod on . Any feedback or advice on this would be appreciated as like I said not feeling the love for this one need some inspiration
Cheers Scott
That Swan Guy:
The whole reason the world tour forks had the double cable guide was to allow the 901 to be potts modded and fitted as the arm is on the other side to other calipers. The bend in the tube is clear enough JUST once the adjuster has been replaced with a pinch bolt. But it is tight.
I know this is my Knight but see how sharply the cable end is bent to avoid contact.

Here's a pic of one I had in '84 with white Skyways/black tyres and at one point a black/white front & rear combo (if it heips).
Also I have a chrome '85 Pro Performer with black parts that actually looks better with gold Shimano DX pedals that match perfectly with the downtube decals on the frame. Try it on yours with the gold SX and see what you think.

Im liking it mate,
I'd ditch the 901's for MX1000's or 880's ... Just my opinion but the 901 is the worst looking brake ever plus you'll have to connect your brakes up the (yank) way round... :daumenhoch:
