No there's no cable guides. I don't think they appeared till 85, but I could be wrong on that one ;)

 87 performer forks will not be chromoly as 87 the frame and forks changed  shape on the pro performer and the single bend downtube frame became bottom of the range  and non 4130 and made in taiwan :daumenhoch:
