Was just browsing through the for sale section and saw this thread http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,188285.0.html
Not being a GT man, i'm not up on these at all. So what's the difference between a world tour and a pro performer. Was one a complete and the other a frame/forks set only, or is it simply colours/decals?
-
Google it :daumenhoch:

::)
I'm no expert Andy but I've always been under the impression the difference is parts spec, colour and decals ???
-
Google it :daumenhoch:
Yeah, Andy, google it! ....first post lol :LolLolLolLol:

Clint is quite right as far as catalogue spec is concerned. Full bikes were advertised with different parts, at least this is what the 86-catalogue shows.
I can try to upload it and drop the link below if you want to.
Regarding the frame and fork-sets there are servaral other indications but these aren't Pro - or World Tour specific as far as I've learned from Nick
( ...maybe I'm a bad student? :-[ ), such as where the serial numbers are stamped dropout (...left I believe) or BB, the serial number it self can tell the year it was made in and where it was made.
But I would trust in Nicks words, who said that the frame number doesn't tell if a frame was originaly sold as a Pro - or a World Tour Perfromer.
As Nick said also in the thread you mentioned, most World Tour Performers came with double cable guide on the front fork. Mine for example came with a single cable guide. That could mean it has the wrong forks, the wrong decals or it is one of those Pro World Tour Perfromers - I don't know if "rare" is the right term to choose here - that just came with a single cable guide.
If World Tour Perfomers had colours available that Pro Perfromers didn't, this I don't know. But I'm sure Nick knows the answer.
Hope that helped a little bit :-[

Welcome to RAD :daumenhoch:
Just thougt i'd ask the question publicly, as i'm sure i'm not the only one who has wondered about it. That's the beauty of a forum based site such as this. As long as i or one of the mod/admin team don't remove the thread, it will remain on the site, plus the topic can be searched for using the tab towards the top right of the page :daumenhoch:
Thanks for info Andy, Clint and others :4_17_5:

Sorry i don't know how to convert it. Maybe you would need the pdf creator program, rather than just a pdf reader? I only have a pdf reader, not creator :'(

I've just googled 'what's a looptail?' and i can't find the answer :-\
Every link i click just gives me the message 'ask Trev'!
Who IS this Trev? Can HE tell me what a looptail is? Is he some kind of BMX guru? We should do a re-make of the Wizard of Oz, BMX style. All our BMX questions/myths answered...

Mmmmmmm....

All I know is the framesets were the same and sometimes. but only sometimes, the forks had twin cable guides, otherwise it was just a part spec difference

Years ago a guest made an efford to upload os-bmx magazines on BMX-ReCollection. This could either be googled or be found in the awesome stickies here:
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,54184.0.html
I put two links of test reviews about the two mentioned models in here:

This is now one of my favourite threads. Some interesting GT info... but also "Google it" ;D
Well I did "Google it" and it brought me back to this forum... how weird is that?
I asked Google a question about an old school BMX and it said I'd find the answer on the best old school BMX forum!?!?!
Is that mad or what? :uglystupid2:
Google it.... :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

I would say Gary Turner. If I understood that correctly it was him and his son Craig who founded GT-Bicycles way before google existed. :D
