Im sure they were late 80's performers.

I know chrome was a definate, im guessing also yellow and white because thats what ive seen

yes moza thats right, those are later colours, if its a specific era corrct build your after miggs then those are not correct,

but then again i used to get my frames and forks powder coated at superbikes in ilford way back in 83 84 whatever colour i fancied i had a lovely baby blue redline back then,

and i'm not an expert on gt so i dont know 84 factory colours

They were only white, yellow and chrome (I think chrome only to start with), then dayglo madness struck

argh decisions decisions i have got to do a haro which is green so will use the green tuffs on that

yellow or white i dont know if my brain can handle it
Title: Re: 84 gt pro performer
Post by: rarman1 on April 17, 2007, 02:13 PM
is it white under under the green ? if it is then that is the true original, you could do it with black tuffs and white tyres like fiola's,

have a look in the museum, theres a couple of white ones in there with tuff's + spokes the one with spokes looks very nice as well white hubs the lot :smitten:

there has been a few performer jr's on us ebay but practically all ( out of 8 that i tried for ) had refused to post to england and the one that said he would insisted shipping would be $300 for a frame forks and bars set, so that was a no no as i've imported two frame sets together for under $100 in the past,

finally got one one though, frame & forks + shipping $140 = £75, although one that refused to post to me sold his complete performer jr for $153 so if your after one keep your eyes peeled ;)
