DemonGT · 2008-07-29 9:52pm

the collection was big, and now it's getting bigger

I knew that DVD shelf would come in handy some time or another

polanco · 2008-07-30 12:56am

wow,man,you have my must have bike times 3!plus a black 88,which was my first!nevertheless,the hunt must go on!

DemonGT · 2008-07-30 1:31am

oh and you know it is!

polanco · 2008-07-30 2:27am

at least I got the pics left!

those were part of my pft stable bitd,fave frame ever,too bad i outrode it,but still holds a special place in my heart...I have been getting some new ones lately,but never close to waht I had before,at one time I had 15 frames together,had about 26 total minus the new ones,guess we're both obsessed!the only color I never had was purple.those were rarer.

polanco · 2008-07-30 2:33am

had to include the pink one,and a shot riding my 1990 pft,those were really cool too,still have the cranks,rear wheel,clamp and seat of that one!(although the seat is totally bent,I just kept it!)the last shot is my friend rob.v,trying to act like josh white in those 87 freestle is life ads!

polanco · 2008-07-30 2:36am

notice the duct tape on the second pic!!and to verify the love hasnt dwindled,here's ashot from a show last friday!

polanco · 2008-07-30 2:39am

notice the new school riders staring at my bike's HUGE 44t sprocket!
or could it have been the brakes,yeah,he was probably staring at the fact I have not one,but TWO brakes!
or maybe it was my seatpost showing more than a quarter of an inch(and it's low for old school standards!)
it really was fun!

polanco · 2008-07-30 2:41am

that particular frame,of course,is nothing like it was before,it has been totally modified so I could keep using it at 195 pounds!check it out,I did this in 94,when I was 150 pounds,but too rough on dropouts and rear ends!

polanco · 2008-07-30 2:48am

one thing I could never stand about these bikes is the horrible sr 474 pedals,and the 87 seat,which sucked bigtime,and ripped up all my pants,AND the hollow alloy axles,which bent or broke/stripped on the first week always!but then again,nothing's perfect,not even pft's!
that's why thoseparts are harder to find,everyone threw them awaythe were only produced for that year,and they had no aftermarket sales,that's why!similar to tech 7's which were cool,but broke too easily,thank god dc did their homework quickly and blessed us with the outstanding tech 77,which to this day stands as the only 80's part in use up until recently,when brakes were declared illegal!
then again,to paraphrase r.l."If braking was illegal,only outlaws would skid!or smith decade out!"

chemcopout · 2008-07-30 5:30am

i hope the seat didnt rip your overalls!!
sent you an email about the haros!

07CARRERA · 2008-07-30 8:01am

Wow! All you guys have some sweet GT collections over there! GT always had some sweet frame designs and colors to go with it. Chrome was king. Being made in the U.S.A. is always a bonus too

chromey · 2008-07-30 8:31am

Polanco... thanks for posting all those old pics...
Man you weren't kidding.. you had SO Many GTs back then.

I love the "Super Duper Gusseted Gusset inside 990 Double Thick Dropout GT too" Thats awesome that you rode that instead of the Suelo at that show last week.

FRESSTYLE FREEK · 2008-07-30 8:58am

wow loven the Photo's!

polanco · 2008-07-30 10:29am

thanks folks,yeah,I definitely prefer the pft over any suelo any given day!

Matt, now I see what you mean by cramped.

Phil Wood · 2008-07-30 2:47pm

I love all the pics! Here are some of mine for a group photo. I do have one more Pro Performer in the top drawer of my tool box at work ready to get blasted. These PFT'S are all survivors except the Day-Glo frame set in the front. You hardcore guys please excuse the the Fuji SE's that managed to sneak into the shots lol.

estados · 2008-07-30 2:53pm

thats i nice set of gt's.
lots of lots of gt's....
those pink gt really glow.

macaltec · 2008-07-30 3:00pm

My GT's aren't worthy to be shown here. I do love them though. Two 84 PP's and 86 WT, 87 PP, 95 P and a few racers too. The GT's seem to be running off all of the other brands in my house.

DemonGT · 2008-07-30 4:35pm

phil wood- very nice collection. I LOVE that white 88, your white 88 is what inspired me to do a white 88 (the white f/f you can see in the pics). Or you can just sell me yours, and I can have 2

Thanks for the compliments! Sorry I can't let the 88 go, I bought it new. It has enormous sentimental value.

polanco · 2008-07-30 8:20pm

ok,guys,maybe we can have some group therapy conducted by dr.air,and paid for by the chairman!:lol:whew!phil,love the 4 piece bars on the white one!in fact,love them all!I need a pink gt so much!

DemonGT · 2008-07-30 8:22pm

I LOVE SURVIVORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

supra_DT · 2008-07-30 8:27pm

Can I have one of your pink PFT's ? I have tons of basement space if you need me to hold on to them for you

The dayglo pink GT's look killer !

Phil Wood, that is one sick GT collection you have going there as well.
