GT ....... Fun build !!

(1/6) > >>

NORTY40:
I have built this as a bit of fun really , it has been done for a month or so but with my mongoose cali taking longer than expected  ::)    
I thought 'sod it' I will put it on and let the  :police:have their say  :D

I bought the frame and forks and a few other bits off ebay 15 months ago (before finding RAD) for £40. I actually thought i had scored an original performer  :-[ , it was only a few weeks later when i went on bmx museum and thought to myself  :wtf: have i bought  ;D

It turns out it is actually a 91 Vertigo (another downer as i didn't really want to restore anything after 87 ideally) but having already had some custom performer decals made up I decided to carry on anyway.  I think in time I might get DEL to do some original 'vertigo' decals but tbh this isn't high on my list of priorities , so it will probably stay like this for the foreseeable future.

The frame and forks had been powdered White , believe me it wasn't a SBD job, it actually looked like it had been applied by a spatula  :shocked:  :D , the first 'artexed' BMX maybe  ;)      I knew straightaway what colour i wanted it to be after lusting after a Baby Blue Ripper bitd.  The frame,forks and all the other bits were prepped and out came the 'RATTLE' cans again for the full 80's colour coded effect  :D

It has been a relativeley cheap build but I am quite pleased how it has turned out .......... GT Vertiformer maybe  ???  .... I'll get my coat  ;D

Big thanks to a few RADsters for parts etc:
