Title: GT Pro Performer date
Post by: highrisedrifter on August 21, 2007, 08:38 PM: Could someone tell me what year this is please? I don't have the serial number to hand.

I'm going to put it on Ebay and want to make sure I give out the right info.

many thanks

Post by: Del on August 21, 2007, 08:49 PM: I'd guess an '85, platform at top of toptube and 4 holes in drop out.... serial number is key though, 3rd and 4th numbers are the year from memory

Post by: Jazzchimp on August 21, 2007, 09:35 PM: late 84-early 86

late 84 was the introduction of the slightly lower footplate, beefed up forks and cable guide. 86 saw the 2nd brake stay behind bb

It could be possible that the frame is 84 and the forks 85

No idea at the moment mate. I'll get it out of the garage when I get home and have a look. I think it might just be the angle of the photograph though.

Title: Re: GT Pro Performer date
Post by: highrisedrifter on August 22, 2007, 05:22 PM: As per my first post, the frame and forks are for sale but I was going to put them on Ebay to hopefully maximise the amount I can get for them. Cash is tight this month due to being knocked off my motorbike by that drunken loon and having to fork out money on policy excess, new helmet etc.

Many thanks

Post by: Del on August 26, 2007, 03:14 PM: Is the serial # on the rear dropout or on the bottom of the bottom bracket tube?
Title: Re: GT Pro Performer date
Post by: highrisedrifter on August 26, 2007, 03:15 PM: On the bottom of the BB itself.
Title: Re: GT Pro Performer date
Post by: Del on August 26, 2007, 03:23 PM: looks like its a Taiwanese built performer, Jan 1986

Post by: highrisedrifter on August 26, 2007, 06:28 PM: Seeing as i've never sold anything by Ebay before, it may take some time to work out how to do it. Then the f&f is going on there.
