Title: what year & model GT?
Post by: showtime on November 11, 2006, 05:43 PM: hi guys
went to look at a GT that a friend is selling earlier & don't rally recognise which model it is as there are some subtle differences :-\

had a quick squizz round the net & found this pic which looks most similar :buck2:

Most likely a Performer if the serial is under the BB.

Does the one you are looking at have the cable holder in the same place? Higher spec Performer if it does or lower spec Performer or Vertigo if its on the top tube.

Post by: Jesse on November 13, 2006, 05:34 PM: ^^^ Yeah i'd have to agree. A '90s Performer/Vertigo.
P.F.T.s had the serial on the rear drop-out and were proceeded by the letter 'FS'. The serial #s also had a different format with the month/year in it.

pretty sure the cable guides on the toptube on the one i was offered, i was thinking performer or vertigo 92-93ish based on what i found having a browse

don't the Pro Freestyle tour bikes also have bent chainstays too as well :-\

i don't think its for me anyway, i'll post a link up to it when he puts it on ebay ;)

Post by: WizardWeb on November 13, 2006, 10:12 PM: Drop outs look like they are about to get out of hand, but it's still got the top bend in the down tube, so I'd say 94 or 95.
