Nice video. I am a collector of GT freestyle bikes from 85 thru 95. Most of them are 85-87. In those years alone I have at least 5 of each year. I will check out your other videos for sure.
My 84/85 Pro Performer and my buddies both had the GT logo on the wedge at the tail end of the top tube and neither of them had a cable stay on the fork. Both of them were in chrome.
BAD A$$$$$$ NICE IMFO!!!!! Im restoring a 84 Pro Performer but it is stamped on the angled end tube under the seat post and is mint survivor chrome OG frame but no holly grail unstamped like that!!!!!!
I have a 86 pro world tour. The serial number is a Japanese code starting with G5K, and gives the manufacture date of November 1985. It has three holes on the dropout. From everything I've seen, at least for 85/86, three holes on the rear dropout means it was manufactured in Japan.
@@bmxpickerI don't think so. On my bike, the serial number is on the bottom of the bottom bracket tube. Not on the dropout. It was just G5K and a number of production. 06473 or something like that. No FS stamp I could see there.
Awesome job! But my 1985 GT Pro Performer had "Pro" in block-lettering. Are you telling me that GT used both the italicized '84 lettering and the block-lettering for the '85 models?
This white one here's is a Eddie Viola, not your basic GT Pro Performer 👍. I'm only telling the difference between what I have. I don't know what you have my friend 👍
Thank you for the GT lesson and hope all is well. Love those frames. I jus picked up a 1984 GT Pro. The serial is 1084**** with a 4 and bottom of dropouts. Do you know the difference between the Pro and Pro Series? GT is stamped same way the Performer is stamp and TT is 18.5" Thank you
@@bmxpicker so the 4 indicates that it was made in Santa Ana. Before Japan and before they moved to Huntington Beach. These were the good ones. Also 4130 as well.
It depends on years because some frames were stamp FS. That stamp means Feestyle Tour. Also it comes down to the components of the bikes, 3pc cranks,or 1pc cranks,mag wheels or 48 spokes wheels 👍
@@bmxpicker hang on a sec. 3-piece cranks on a GT World Tour? 3-piece cranks did not appear until 1987, by which time the bike had been renamed the “Pro Freestyle Tour.” 48-spoke wheels did not appear until ‘92, or somewhere close to that.
