GT Pro Performer ????

(1/9) > >>

Nosnod:
I was interested in this GT Performer as I had one BITD but something doesn't quite add up (Apologies if it's someones on here!)

1) Didn't think Performers came out until 1983 or 1984
2) The picture of the frame shows what looks like brake cable guides under the bottom tube. My 84 Performer that I had BITD definitely did not have brake cable guides and I didn't think they started putting them on until 85/86 ish and then a bit later they put them on the forks.

I think it may be a later frame with early forks.

Any ideas or have I got it wrong?

Jazzchimp:
Think they came out in April 84 and it is a later frame (rear with earlier forks. Although my Performer (which I bought new in late 84) has a guide on the rear of the forks, so they didn't run them for long before the fork guide was added see.


Note no brake bridge behind the bb.

The GT performer with the centrepull brake behind the bottom bracket and cable guides came out in 1987 and were made in Taiwan.

Jazzchimp:
What mine or his?
