After not wanting to ride my show pony around at MK and got bored with walking everywhere I'm looking for a rider.
What do we reckon out of this little lot?
1) GT Performer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320400737406
2) Redline RL340 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250469271324
3) Unknown freestyler (Possibly Freeway) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270432003192
4) GT Vertigo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320401666472
5) Dyno http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=160350674934
6) GT Performer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130319053174
Only looking to spend as close to £50 as I can (Not £120, £150, or £300+ ::)) as I've got other builds going on so fundage is being put into these.
The older skool the better and I'm not sure what's what in this regard with the ones I have selected. I know it's a bit subjective as it should be what I like but in terms of the complete bikes and the quality of components is there a real no brainer?
Mny thx

:) I reckon the GTs are pretty nice,doesn`t take a lot to get them looking great & instantly recognisable.

I'm sure I'm getting boring to some of you but I'm still struggling with this stuff and need all the help I can get.
I DO value ALL comments, when they're given...
I think it's now about the components that are coming with these rather than the f+f. I'm just not up to speed with Mid School yet...
Mny thx in advance

Lamby, GT vertigo's look nice with spokes or mags imo, also a good sturdy frame too for slams and beats :daumenhoch:
Iv got a dyno that i blast about on and its held out great.
Early mids is just what id go for bud. Just my opinion so dont shout if im wrong pweeez ;)

Really? What makes u think that Pickle? Looks the same as #4 to me ???
-
Am I being too optimistic to get a MS GT Vertigo/Performer for the budget I've set of £50?

Just emailed the chap about 1) above and he has confirmed they are "slightly" bent. Apparently I can't go wrong for £40 for the F+F, Bars & Seat Post... :shocked:
That's funny, I thought to myself. I'd usually like the forks to not snap on me :uglystupid2:
Thx for spotting this Pickle! :daumenhoch: :4_17_5:
The search continues...

GT Vertigo would deffo recommend, just my opinion.....
Always use it and has lasted (mind you I don't rip skateparks up !!) for a bit of racing, a bit of freestyle and lots for riding about. You can always muck about with em, ie old skool flavour if the full mid skool aint your thing. F&F the same in both pics, just changed decals over time......
Rider/freestyle and general posing about on
