Re: 1987 GT Performer
The pics were taken at Woodward West under fluorescent lighting which make the bike look slightly a different shade of blue. In person this thing is DEAD ON accurate GT blue… Thanks C4 Labs!!!

Also, I've always been a big dude, but the way my shirt is hanging in the second pic from BITD makes me look twice the size I was!!!

Re: 1987 GT Performer
Absolutely gorgeous build bro! I have the same bike. It was my first build when I got back into this ridiculously expensive hobby about a year ago. Very Clean man, I regret selling my OGK's and putting spokes on mine. And that seat you got on that thing looks like you went back to 1987 to get it. Mine is a survivor with a really clean frame. And your right Chip matched that blue up perfectly. instant fave!

Re: 1987 GT Performer
Thanks for the kind words bro. I like to say this bike is more than a bike to me… It's an old friend!

Nice 87 GTP. I always dug the signature CHEESE GRATER chain wheel on them.
BEER, BABES, & BMX, what else does a man need? Well, maybe some BULLETS for his BERETTA 9 MILLA MEETA.
