Nothing on the dropouts . . . just the bottom bracket

Double top tube thingy level with the top of the top tube and the beefed up forks with the cable guide is the giveaway, very nice! :daumenhoch:
Here's mine which I bought BITD and still have

So is this good for a Fiola build then ??

Cheers

steve
its your bike, do what you want with it

Steve P:
It's gonna be a Fiola tribute no matter what . . .  I've spent too much time and money so far getting the parts  ::)

There's no brake stay behind the BB and the standing platform is level with the top of the top tube





Can the serial # not be deciphered to give an exact age . . . I'm curious

Cheers

Jazzchimp:
Fiola's 'flying banana' was a MK1 but he rode all types at some point. I'm sure it'll look the dogs whatever you do with it

Moose:
I had a discussion with Biaggio recently regarding this model of Pro Performer (not this exact one), to which we really didn't agree.

I believe all these models are Japanese made '85's.  Besides the things already mentioned, the other thing that gives it away is the decals. The 'Pro' font is different to the US made. I also believe the serial number is decipherable, I think the 5 is the year and either the G or J is the month code. I don't know for definate myself but there's a member on VBMX who does, if you like I'll give him a shout.
