1985 GT Pro World Tour

I managed to get a 1985 GT Pro Performer. Although currently sticker as a GT Pro World Tour.

The important part for me is that its got 4 hole drop outs, 4130 Stamped and USA made :)

Bars and seat post aren't included unfortunately.

The main reason I ended up going for a Pro Performer back in '85 was due to this guy, (photo taken by me) Eddie Fiola:













Been a while... Next 1985 GT Pro Performer

Winter is finally over here so time to spring clean the bike for the first run of the season.


Over the winter I've been increasingly distracted about my hunt for a 1985 GT Pro Performer to restore. Mu intentions to do it like I had it back in the day. Unfortunately my original one got "lost" after my parents moved house, and looking at the prices of original parts that I had is just crazy... but quite probably I am. eBay seems to be the easiest place to source the frame and forks. What it to be 4 hole drop out and serial stamped on the drop out (which I suspect is the US made frame). Not bothered about what colour, but it will end up green...

And now a BITD shot:
