1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour

My first ever freestyle bike...my apologies to all the freestyle guys for not finishing her up...!!!

     The frame and fork have all original decals...the post and bars have replacements.  Also...thanks a lot Matt...!!!  You let me know what brakes to get...but you did not mention how much of a pain in the @$ it is to wire them up.  Found out the hard way to lace the brake wire through before attaching the forks...I just gave up at a certain point.  I didn't even have the patience to cut a chain down for her.
     I took some shots in the sun to show off how beautiful the condition of the original chrome is in.  Love this bike...always wanted one when I was a kid.

Re: 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour

Very nice PFT! I love the gleaming chrome and the polished cranks add nicely to that! Fantastic first freestyle build! I had to laugh at the comment on routing the pott's mod through the fork - FS bikes present a whole slew of challenges that race bikes do not. When I put my Profile together, I felt like I was missing something it was so simple! lol

Re: 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour

Thanks very much for the great and funny compliments guys...!!!  Really appreciated.  cool

The '87 chrome PFT is one of only two Freestyle bikes I have ever wanted to own...the other is a chrome '85 Master... wink .

I hope to tackle those breaks and have the chain sized very soon...expect a few more pm's Matt...!!!  yikesbig_smile

*OH*...the seat was the hardest thing to find...LOL.  Very cool guy from this site hooked me up with it.  What happened to all the black '87 GT seats...???

Thanks again!

cool PFT,never get enough of those I guess...and yes,the pedals rule!about those seats,pete brandt,eric emerson,and most well every other flatlander killed them around 1989,when the dumptruck /deathtruck became popular.for real,I remember that in june,1989,I ordered 6 2188's,and got six of these by error,at 6 bucks each,and killed them in less than two months,ripped apart...or bent rails,you name it.
