1999 GT Performer Blackout Edition
1999 GT Performer Blackout Edition
My personal HOLIEST of GRAILS!!!
I bought this '99 Blackout Performer new in '99, had it stolen 3 months later! Fast forward to 2017 and I found it in the background of a GT mt bike ad on Craigslist about 10 miles from where it was stolen!!! I got it back after 18 years of relentless searching!!! It took me until September 2020 to get it put back together... Stay RAD and never give up hope!!! 18 years of searching the interwebs and I never found one for sale. This site was the only place I could even find an image of one. Dude that had it is one of us and totally cool, he took it on a trade/cash deal for a bike he restored and was totally willing to just give it to me, but I still gave him fifty bucks...
Been bunny hoppin GT since '87... Sick bike/bikes you got there!!! Yes you!!!

Re: 1999 GT Performer Blackout Edition
WOW!
Great story! You give me hope.
I had a '99 GT Performer in green that I LOVED. It was stolen and I was devastated. I purchased a Blackout GT Performer but -- you just can't replace the one that got away. Anyway, I'm gonna go check Craigslist now.
I think I'm selling my Blackout. All original stock. Barely used.
