1993 GT Performer
1993 GT Performer
Bike my Dad bought me back in 1993
Soooo, this is this second "good" bike my parents bought me back in '93, if I would have known better I would have just kept my '92 PFT, but oh well. I still have it and it just went through it's second redo.
Parts List:Frame - 1993 GT PerformerFork - 1993 GT PerformerHandle Bars - 1993 GT Performer
Seat Post - 1993 GT Lay BackSeat Post Clamp - 1993 GTSeat - Dominator Stem - 1993 Dyno (Original to bike)Grips - GT WingsChain Wheel - GT RacingCranks - GT 1 Piece (Original to bike) Chain - KMCPedals - Wellgo PlatformWheels - Skyway Tuff IITires - Kenda KontactPegs - OldschoolBrake Calipers - Front - ACS BOA / Rear - Odyssey PitbullGyro - OdysseyBrake Levers - OdysseyBrake Cables - OdysseyDecals - 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour (UltraHive) *** Custom Color ***This is what it looked like when I found it in my uncles storage unit.
And this is the results of the first redo, notice the decals on the frame washed out with the black, that kind of ruiend it for me but I lived with it for a while.
And here is the results of the second and LAST redo, I absolutely love it. I wanted an 80's look and I think I got it right this time. (inspired by a few in the museum).
Aaaaand, I had to score some 80's shades to match!

Re: 1993 GT Performer
Instant fave. I'm building an 89 Performer with somewhat of the same color scheme. This, however, is outstanding. Simply an awesome build. How does this bike ride?

Re: 1993 GT Performer
Thanks houndog, it rides great. I've always rode GT's and it rides like the day I got it in '93.

Re: 1993 GT Performer
Thanks, I like using new school brakes and grips for some reason.

Re: 1993 GT Performer
I really like this bike man, You did a fine job on it!
I had an 85 performer which was my one and only "good" bike back then, and these later model frames are starting to grow on me, and this one is a beauty.
