That's the most Albinoist (if I could use it as an adverb) GT I'ever seen! Good Job!

THIS WAS MY VERY LAST BIKE I BOUGHT COST $413 NEW. GOT STOLEN ABOUT 5 YEARS LATER LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ONE
I'M A RACER AT HEART BUT THIS IS MY FAVORITE FREESTYLE BIKE MADE

my seat, stem, grips, pedals and power disc were black everything was the same

Oh yeah had tubular 1 piece cranks (said like turbox on them or something close)

Did I ever tell you your bike is what inspired me to build mine??? I love the all-white look!

pgarthw8 · 2007-11-22 5:21am

Looks right out of the 1986 GT Catalog. Nice job.

jasonGT · 2008-02-28 10:42am

Now that i have the era correct seat and bubble font ame grips i can now declare my build done.
This bike is well ridden every day when i'm off from work.

Thanks for viewing

IMHO, the best looking bike in the museum. It inspires me to get my white 87 Performer done.

hi nice to see another mint world tour. ive got a chrome one which ive had from new since 1986.. i see yours has the same santa ana 3 hole drop out frame set as mine with the later world tour stickers, i've been told this combo is a rare find as the later stickers were on the 4 hole frame's made at the huntington beach factory.. just wondered if anyone could shed some light on how many like mine were made, i had to wait nearly 3 months for the shop to get me a chrome GT world tour sent over here to em in england..

Love those pics at Huntington Beach, very cool.

Holy crap, how have I not seen this before. BAD AZZ BIKE. I need one of these now to match my all white '87 PFT.

spierce · 2009-05-22 5:59am

skunksrus · 2009-08-18 8:25am

cool..

StevenFS98 · 2009-08-18 10:19am

Great bike. I bought one in 86 myself. I don't have all of it anymore, but I'm keeping what I do have and building a bike back around the parts. Those Huntington Beach pictures were a great backdrop. Well worth the time to do it.
