1988 GT JR Performer 16
1988 GT JR Performer 16
one for my daughter.
officially complete as josie's bike, though i may change it to blue for my son since his 16" retro sport is way bigger than this gt and and she is now too.
highlights: 150mm power series cranks, front and rear 990's, nos gt tires, box neck and gyro. and yes, she 's six and often rides eight miles with me, i built it to use. 
"This should be a no brainer guys. If you think the wife would disagree with the bike/price tell her "Honey, I bought this for you. I LUUVVVV you...". And then proceed to put it with your other bikes and tell her she can never ride it. lol"

Great Job! How did you get the gyro on there. I couldn't fit one on my sons jr performer. the forks didn't seem to be long enough on the threads.
I love 80's GT Freestyle

just pull off the bearing cups and grind 1/8'' off of each side of the head tube, fits perfect!
thanks for the nice words everybody!, james

yeah, but i need him to match my gt show
here's a rolling shot from the other day, i think my iphone pics up color much better than the canon digital:
the 990 u brakes lock up the nos gt tires, one sound that's far worse than fingernails on a chalkboard!

Re: 1988 GT JR Performer 16
GREAT Pic there....
A stunning build.
Did you spray the paint your self? Or have it powdered by someone. I only ask because i kind of remember you saying you painter all your retro Masters your self too.
