Title: 1986 GT Pro Performer 'World Tour'
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on February 15, 2013, 02:34 PM: As you guys most probably are aware by now, I get bored riding the same bike and need a change on a regular basis ::) ;D

So my last rider, the GT Pro Series, got the heave ho and went to a good home :daumenhoch:

It was a great, smooth ride though so, I felt I had to try out one of these as I have never owned or ridden one. I wanted a chrome 84/85 version but, they are like rocking horse poo when you want one so, the next best thing, a white one :)

Title: Re: **WARNING** GT content
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on February 15, 2013, 04:09 PM: This one is a 1986 bro :coolsmiley:

It states 4130 on the stay slant but I think these were not fully 4130. Costa should know though :daumenhoch:

I have these to go on. I know the Tuff's are first gen and dated around 1980 but, they are coaster and what I wanted. The tyres are CW freestyle, around '87.

I don't know much about them to be honest, only the info I have gathered since wanting one. The serial states '86 and it's a World Tour model so, whether they didn't put the stay on this model, I can't tell you bro :-[

Not going to go too mad on it bro as it's going to get the life ridden out of it but, if you have any decals, I will replace them for you :coolsmiley:

I'm looking to replace the bars and post with chrome ones. The knurling on these is quite deep, if that helps mate. Cannot see any stamp either, unless it's under the paint or decal :-\

The "baseball" logo is not a baseball as many of us thought. It is derived from the first kanji character of the name Koizumi as seen on the factory entrance plate :daumenhoch:

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on February 16, 2013, 12:24 PM: Anyhow, as this is purely a rider, I made a start on it today :daumenhoch:

NOS Gyro 2, Tange MX-2 headset, NOS '86 dated front Nippon :smitten: and mint rear '85 dated MX900.

Not sure whether to use the Skyway's now as my mate thinks I would be stupid to start running brake blocks around the stamped rim :-\ :(

I love this build Terry apart from the pedal colour!I reckon black would look way better!but they kinda give it an air of 80's authenticity i guess! :daumenhoch:

Cheers dude. I have got black DX or black KKT's but, I thought I would mix it up a little with the blue pedals. Like you say, that 80's feel.

It's going to chopped around now for riding though. I can't bring myself to ride those Tuff's, even though I want to so, I picked up some Z 48's for it :daumenhoch:

Post by: Chromo Buzz on April 06, 2013, 05:52 PM: Looking good with the Zd's on, glad you're not riding on those Tuff's(they were way too mint for a rider :smitten:). The only thing i would change are the tyre's...............for some of those Kenda K55 freestyle tyre's(exact copy's of the Panaracer's). This is only my personal opinion, not trying to diss you're bike mate :coolsmiley:

It's a mighty fine ride you have there :4_17_5:, i would love a chrome one :smitten:................one day maybe.

Buz :daumenhoch:

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on April 08, 2013, 11:25 AM: Thanks gents :coolsmiley: I would love chrome one too Buz but, beggars couldn't be choosers at the time :(

I'm glad how this has turned out, although, I will need to become Arnie to lift it :crazy2:

It rides real nice too. After trying out Costa's yellow early one, this is a little better with different fork geometry. The steering is more responsive and feels very agile. Once I have plucked up the courage to 'drop this in', I will see if I can at least get a little air with it ;D

Spokes everty time for me work better than Tuffs but why is it so heavy?
