Does look right, I'm sure Greg will have been involved, I can't see him selling his rights only to buy them back again!!

As I understand it, he did make a brief comeback into frame manufacture in the 90's - he commented about it on VBMX when he announced the new GHP frames

Frosty, that second pic is definitely pre 85 frame, possibly a very early one due to the flat brake bridge, with later pro1 decals, as it has no gusset and a flat brake bridge. the one on ebay has different drop outs completely and the rear tubes meet the top tube at a completely different angle.

this is a mid eighties pro1 frame, (not pro1 forks tho)

I'm not really sure, but i think it's not a ghp at all!
I remember when i wrote gregg in the '90s when he made a comeback with GHP.
He answered that the '90s GHP frames were the same like the '80s but just have a bigger downtube!
The bike in the auction has no GHP dropouts and the seatstay connection to the seattube is different too.
I can be wrong...........

just flipped throught a 93 BMX PLUS magazine to look for a GHP frame.
And in 93 the drop outs on the GHP frames were the same like the first version from the '80s.
The bike on the auction look little like a BOSS?

it does look like a boss but for the stay tubes, got info yesterday that it could well be a GHP as greg did do a run of frames for a while and the drop outs look very much like the star products drop outs i mentioned earlier. but also as you have described also, anyway its gone now, but twoz interesting

it aint sold and is a GHP, heres a bit of what he replied to my message

"it's stamped GHP1050 (or so) on the rear left dropout. I bought it from Dan's competition when they first came out (I can't remember when, I should try and find receipts...) "

the drop outs are very much like those

interseting............
But i'm more familiar with the '80s GHP frames  :D
I remember Pete Loncarevich rode a GHP in 93, and there was a team that was co-sponsored by GHP in the '90s.

Early 90s GHP - look pretty similar to the old 80s ones.

Nice frames.
