Bought the F/F from a good member here, had it sandblasted and powder coated by Porter Powdercoating in Anaheim, CA. Other parts came from Dan's Comp, Rini's, Porkchop, Ace Bmx, my LBS, and the fine folks on this site. Only about $300 invested in the whole thing. Fun project bike.

Re: 1996 GT Performer
Thanks for the comments, guys!
Yeah, the frame was a little funky at first but once it was powdered and stickered up, it started to look the part. Wish it had the iconic curve at the head tube but the curve on the downtube was enough to sell it as a retro. Went with blue because that was how I remembered 'em bitd. That and pink, but I wasn't going pink on this. The mags look cool but I'm not a fan.
