Title: --- GT Pro Performer Pit Bike --- Now with pads!
Post by: Stodgy on September 23, 2006, 11:44 AM: Well, finally finished it!

A 16" replica of my GT Pro Performer, and it's a sweetie! All the parts are as per the biggie apart from the stem.

Big thanks to Pete (Quadrophenia) for helping to source the bits, Fuzzynod Mark for the metal work and to SuperBikeDan for the lovely powder coat.

Hope you like.

Thanks again guys for all the comments!

Dirtyvans - it's an original GT Performer pit bike F&F. The only metalwork that needed to be done was Fuzzynod Mark took the chainguard tabs off the seat tube and seatstays (he da top man).
