1) (Pre-1995) Firstly the best looking for me, was the 1987 Pro Performer and secondly the 1991-1993 Performer.


2) (Post-1995) Firstly the 1998 Pro Performer and secondly the 1995-1996 Performer.


7) I used to own a 1993 Performer for a while (i borrowed it from a friend), a 1998 Pro Performer and then a 2000 Tour 2


8)Right now i have a 1998 PFT and a 2000 PFT is on the way.



Personally i love more the ones with the threadless headset, more strength and durability.
But i would love to have the 1987 & 1991-1993 PFT...

1985...best....

caleb_k21: Your PP's look fantastic.. I'm currently building a Black '87 PFT Team Model for myself and a White '87 PP for my wife.. I hope it turns out half as good as your white one.  What kind of brake levers did you use for that bike?  How come you didn't name the chrome one as a PFT, aside from the chainwheel it looks pretty much like one.

the white one is mostly original, the levers are the original odyssey RX-3.. that bike is lke MINT... the chrome one i got from my cousin who had it when we were kids, its rechromed and all NOS. the original stickers were not on it but it has NO FS in the serial so i stuck with the pro performer decals and i built it to my likeing....

jokerm-1: I totally dig the 85 too.. I'm considering for my next restoration doing an '85 World Tour, just have to decide on a color.. I've seen some pretty sweet yellow ones here in the museum.

Good choice keep me posted..white would look nice also...its a GT any color would look awesome...lol

I gotta go with the mob on this one - the 83-85 - whatever the first run ones were - I know a dude that rode that over so many other bikes - he'd pass on anything to ride that old GT. The frame I'm thinking of  (an 84 or 85 - lt. blue w/red tuffs orig.) went thru like 6-8 of my friends,,, I had it twice, once it was yellow and once black, I sold it to a dude in GER, he's prolly over there pimping on it right now.


I was just thinking - same dude I know rides a 1990 (?) hardtail GT MTB frame of some kind - no shocks no gears cruizer style. heh.

NICKTCFCSB:  I like that baby blue color, was that original or a rebuild?

Phil Wood.. I'm so jealous of all those GT's.. They look great, is that red frame a 1989?  The decal designs on that frame are pretty sweet.  I wish they still took that kind of time in the style of the newer models.

Hell yeah slicer¡ I send to you the first pics when done
