GT PRO PERFORMER IS READY!

(1/8) > >>

Swivel:
Morning lads... Ok a bit more hard graft last night and here it is. The frame/forks/bars all originally come from the states a couple of years ago and its been sitting in my loft ever since. The frame and forks are ORIGINAL survivor chrome. I'd say its 8.5/9 out of 10. I just had the bars rechromed and the GT stamped seat post. The whole thing is very shiny and blingy indeed  :shocked:. I have tried to bolt on to it as many original GT parts as I could find, including an original GT Epoch headset. Only thing which is new is the twin-pinch redline crank but I personally like it. Many of you traditionalists will bollock me but I had a word with JT a while back and he said use whatever you want... and personally, I couldn't bring myself to spend £200 on a set of cranks anyway ;) And they do look quite nice I have to say. About time I got a bike ready. The Torker 2 and Ammaco Freestyler are basically done too, these i'll try and photograph and get up later. This one I will enter in the bike of the month and see how it goes  ::). Even though I love my Haro's and Ammaco's, I can't help but think this is the bike I should have tried to get BITD, it just feels so nice and solid... love it  :smitten:

Would like to say some thank you's to Rhys (tools/advice), Gary (advice), Rob - Pickle (advice), Mark J (bolts), Del (for the decals) and Burnersforlife (padset)... cheers lads :daumenhoch:

No worries Pete. Tried to get hold of some DX's or even SX's in blue but no luck, but these don't look too bad though  :daumenhoch:
