Couldn't agree more with this ^ You could put a blue 880 on the front but I think they might be quite rare/expensive  :-\
Nice looking bike though  fistblump

Quadog:
Almost finished but still not really liking this build think I prefer the later more colourful versions of these anyway I’ve just Ordered a pad set from esemdesign and need to change post for layback and get a seat unsure wether to go with a kashimax RS or a repop dominator and will probably change 901s for 880s if ever come across some blue ones. Hopefully it will grow on me as I’ve started so I’ll finish.

I know what you mean about the colourful ones being better but chrome was the original concept of the Performer, originally it was the only option so it has some heritage. To find one in such good condition is difficult these days too. Stick with it and it might just win your heart, don't be afraid of refreshing parts to bring it to life too. I've built bikes that in the flesh didn't resemble the idea in my head and just changing tyres or a seat post turned it around. But please don't think about painting this one, if you want a swap to colour put it out for a swap and keep a fantastic chrome Performer alive  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

I’m hoping once it’s up and running I might feel different about it . Funny how we all get fussy over these bikes my mate had a chrome one back in 84 he was the rich kid I had a falcon pro from catalogue and would have gave my left nut to get a bike like this .
