uhh yea, they did show day glo pink and orange frames and parts in books. it was a incentive to build your own bike just like the pro's!! it was gt saying "hey kids, be cool and build
your own and if you do we will offer you these day glo colors." which is why Eddie had a day glo pink bike custom built and Martin had a day glo orange. so kids would go to the show's
and be like "WOW!, i want a bright pink or orange one like THAT MOM!."

you can discredit the 86 stuff all you want, its the same color though
but whatever, i still have 87 parts in the pics.

here are 86/87 bars with the darker 87 post. also 87 post by repowdered bars

Hey, i'm not trying to discredit anything.. it's just when i'm dealing with my particular, color, year and bike I want to keep it as close to that as possible.. especially after all that's been learned.  why would i want to compare and 86 dayglow batch to a rushed 87 xmas batch that prob wasnt even powdered by the same workers/company..  gt did themselves.  All good, if you can't understand that dunno what to say.  I really appreciate that you play along and take pics tho   kinda still feel you think it's the one-pink wonder color, but everyone here is entitled to their opinions...

DUUUDDE im NOT arguing what color you bike was...how many time do i need to tell you that. i understand your bike was NOT the color of the stuff im showing. im simply showing what day glo pink was SUPPOSE to look like. not what your bike DID look like. go read what i said a few posts up. the 87 post i have is really dark. so how is that thinking its a one pink wonder color? i can take a pic of it in dim light and it will look red.

duuuuuuuude..... you say "im simply showing what day glow pink was SUPPOSE to look like"...  they were all supposed to look like their swatch..

look like for who???  the lucky 86 riders or kids who mom bought a frame for.. why can't the xmas 87 kids get any love... is my dayglow pink a fake color, not done by gt and is a complete farce....  the way I look at it, your 86 bike was more than likely powdered by the company gt subbed to do the work and mine was painted by GT themselves (high on drugs or not).... so mine must be better    That is kind of funny too how earlier when I said screw tiger drylac a few people jumped in and all defending them.. but all i've heard is the 80s were so wild and how much gt sucked at powdering in the 80s etc.. they were high etc.. so I guess its ok to talk about one company but not the other.. hypocrites I swear.

btw.. the sample I have I was told the color will vary with thickness... all your thinsters out there.

So, what's the color sample next to the "pepto glow" sample pic on the left?

So, that swatch or sample you're holding on the right is paint?

that pepto pink sample looks spot on to day glo pink.

post that pic again of your bike showing the color. the pic that was taken showing the crank area and down tube and pedal.

hey demon, did you sell all your bikes?  or keep a couple favs atleast?

i sold alot of them.

i currently have:

DGP 86
DGP 87
DGP custom pit
chrome custom pit
blue 87 signed by Gary
86 jr performer
DG orange 87
98 dyno slammer

working on my last two builds now before im done with building and stick to strictly collecting.
im also converting a 88 pro performer over to a 87 PFTT. always wanted a chrome 87 team but
i do not consider that a "build". have all the parts just need to do it....but its easier said then done
with a 16 month old.

Lego,

Where are you at with the rest of your parts for this build?

Everything, I mean everything is there except a nice white nippon.  Super lace rims being powdered and laced up by c4.

The faster some of your realize that fluorescent pink does not mean the color has to be PINK.  Many fluorescent pinks are red or orange, every shade inbetween... and including the hotter pink too.  Orange... red... pink.. all fall into the fluorescent  pink category.  That's why the tiger swatch looks orange...  i'm about to leave this thread anyways and start my build one!  Ya'll can do what you want.. I'm sticking to catalog best I can with the color, not the rarer pink variety ... hows it feel?
