OK, moving away from the Welcome page, I've bought a 1999 GT Performer frame for £4.50 off ebay and blagged a set of ACS ZMAG wheels and tyres and a single crank
Its really to renew my youth after having a few bikes including a Redline which was stolen by force from my brother 18+ years ago :-\
Spent this evening polishing the chrome and loosely fitted the wheels and will continue to work on it over the next few weeks/months
The wheels will probably go on to my sons bike as I dont know too much about them.
Just brakes, bars, stem, chain gear, pedals, sprockets and a saddle and I'll be there or there about
I am open to suggestions :whistle:

seriously though, spokes and GT kneesaver bars ...and dem white/dark blue decals
-
Like build it like a proper late 90's bike - ie NO mags?
-
...demonwarpfury2112's Pro Performer has the big GT logo on down tube ...pretty sure you'll find smth like that in white/blue, too ->http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/gt_bicycles/37193
-
That's what I'm saying - thank fook someones suggested putting proper wheels on late 90's GT and not just saying to slap mags on it.
-
Always cool to see a pic of the Hoffman spleen machine!
As for the GT, what the others said, 48's & era correct GT parts, plenty about :daumenhoch:
-
Full spec list for the bike is in the back on this catalogue

...yeah, can't believe i'm liking this.. :( ...it's banana shaped
-
I prefer the 2000 style decal, like the ones on the front end of the Tour2/moterbike hybrid you posted.
-
you got it :slayer:....sooo, there you go, Spudds :coolsmiley:
....the fork looks lil different from a 99 Performer ..? Not sure

....the fork looks lil different from a 99 Performer ..? Not sure
Their is an etched GT on the lower forks but the hole in the forks for the brakes does appear to be close to the front wheel. maybe theyre the wrong GT forks for the bike :-\
is there a 'how to fit a threadless gyro' thread on here or am I making it sound difficult ??
looking at these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-Odyssey-XL-Gyro-1-1-8-threadless-forks-vintage-old-school-bmx-/121197504333?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1c37ef274d but I guess I still need the bearings
-
The forks are right for a 1999 Performer, not that I'm an expert or owt on GT's, but you can see they're a-ok in that catalogue.
Fitting a threadless gyro's is the same as fitting a 1" threaded one, just gotta make sure whatever stem you use it's got enough clearance (or is gyro friendly). Full instructions here:

:4_17_5: .... lol, was lookin at the PRO performer's forks, i can't read :bellend:
... in case you're interested in gettin the tour2's decals:
...might get hard to get hold of em..... i'd ask Duke 01 on bmxmuseum.com .......his name is Costa, he's the dude ..........-> register ->drop him a pm . It's my best guess, cause i've searched high and low, and ......... nada, niente, nichts, nothing.
might as well start here .http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=281749
as i said, in case you're even interested in em

-

wow cheers "wantit" why couldnt I find that :-[
-
good question, cuz there's like thirteen of em on ebay at the moment
..that's only black ones :whistle:
-
I had a butchers - there's non in the UK selling separately that I could see. Not worth paying the extra to get em shipped into the UK when they come up fairly often.
-
...just one of 13 will ship to UK :wtf:
marks a good deal anyway :daumenhoch:

Someone called Costa, who knows everything about GTs?
That wouldn't be our own resident GT expert named Costa would it? or GTNUMBER1
I suppose there could be another GT fanatic called Costa, but can't help thinking it's the same person
