1987 GT Performer
1987 GT Performer
Stickered up as a Pro Freestyle Tour - because I can ;-)
Found this at a bike shop in Colorado Springs and loved the color. Brought it home, cleaned it up, added some custom decals and swapped in a lot of new parts. This style Performer is one of my all time favorites.

Your photography is so good, I wouldn't know it if the bike wasn't cool, but my eyes are telling me that's !
Red alert! .....I am down to one pair of red cages. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Re: 1987 GT Performer
Here is what it looked like before. I'll just say I paid a fair price but still got a good deal.

or, I have the back mag that matches your front in case you need it. I'm not in love with these mags so will probably never seek out its mate. If you (or anyone else) are interested, let me know...

Re: 1987 GT Performer
Are these the mags that were molded in black and then factory coated white? I like them, they look a lot better than the three spoke mags!!!
Cool, a new bike. Wait a minute.......where am I going to hide this one. She's going to catch me for sure!!!
