The performer was just as influential as the Gen 1 in terms of taking a freestlye bike to the next level. They actually thought about it. The most UNDERATED bike that there is in old skool bmx.

However i didnt like the Performer from 86 onwards though. Just my opinion.

Although these are the most sought after in the US.

Really Iconic they are and look cool in so many different colour combos,Think the later ones are really extra like the neon blue and pink stickers etc and look a bit gaudy and daft.prefer the early ones nice and simple and understated.

You know the candy red one with black tuffs is that 85? or later?

munners · « **Reply #202 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:03 AM »

85 i think. poss 86.

sweetbeats · « **Reply #203 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:06 AM »

Cool I like that one as well...when did the performer go all weird was in 87? Where the geometry is all over the top etc not struck on them.

munners · « **Reply #204 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:08 AM »

I do like that candy red one too. I just didnt like the mags and colours that they introduced. Then they changed the geomatory.

Haha I will still give you first dib dobs as promised when I get bored of them,spokes look ace on your GT BTW something different...I prefer spokes to tuffs so my next build will be a spoker for sure.

I think the chrome yellow tuffed bike in the Kawasaki pic is dave youngs, very nice looking bike.

Yeah Dave's performer was cool as BITD...Think kawasaki where his co-sponsor not so sure so don't quote me.

Gonna take my life in my hands here and post a pic of dave caught with his pants down

you dont have to look too hard to see dave and said bike in this pic.

And heres a pic of my first performer it was an early one without the gt stamp on the end of the top tube, check out my homemade front pegs

isnt it a shame!

shame life moved on and we got older, instead of pauseing in 1983/4 forever.....
