1997 GT Performer
our first project
working with my son (aged 9) to build his first bike
got this off ebay uk today - bit of a mess, no brakes, but original GT parts
stripped down to clean, polish etc
waiting on a few parts - new chain; skyways - the wheels i always wanted as a kid in the 80's but could never afford )-;
anyone know what the original brakes on this were ?
cheers to daygogt96 for the advice on the brakes and to mongoosedrummer for the CAP rust removal method on the chainring - sweet
nearly there now, just need to work out these newfandgled gyro things........ (-;

Nice project for you and your son, I have a 96 (see it in my bikes) and it is still one of my favorites. I'd guess the brakes were bulldogs with a 990 rear. Keep us posted on the progress,
