- here's a little GT history to help id framesfrom 1st Gen to a 2ed gen for 1984 to 1985.The 1st gen I show you is a 1984 GT Pro Performer per stamp that only made for the 1st when GT started making freestyle frames & white 2ed gen is a 1985 Eddie Feola Pro World Tour. If you guys like these kind of videos let me know & I will start doing more of them. When I get 1000- subscribers I would do youtube live to show you guys how I score these pieces of Old School BMX history. Watch my other videos as I have over 200 videos posted. Thank you.

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.
Nice, Thank you for checking out my TH-cam. I don't know it all,but what little I do know, I try to share it with everyone 👍
This frame looks so much better in chrome 👍
Also the standing platform on 84's were welded more central in the top tube where as from 85 they were welded higher up
Thanks. Good stuff. I like the spec"s.
You have a second month unstamped 84. First ones made in February 84. 😎
Very good information
I just wanna say I just stumbled the crusty TH-cam channel and it’s awesome ! Love the Kontan keep it up and definitely looking forward to more videos
Thank you.👍 I want to do more ridding videos but my GoPro keeps cutting out after 15 minutes
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.
Thanks for the info
Nice frames
Im fan of coin roll frame edition
In few words GT bikes they're awesone
Lot of memories .... Good memories
Thank you buddy we need videos like that one and if you can do for the other years please
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.
Dose it an "FS" stamp in front of of the serial number gaped out a little bit ?
@@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.
84 also usa@@bmxpicker
Sweet pieces of history you have there. Thanks for the information.
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!!!!!!
What you have is the next best one👍👍
Great info I bought a frame thinking it was a GT performer 1984 noticing now that the rear brake tabs aren't there thanks for the info
Thanx for all that info!! Subbed,im a GT freak
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
I'm Not sure as it could be a Japanese made one?
@@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.
I've got one without the stamp had it for 36 yrs
Edit:was chrome but powder coated it
That chrome looks fresh and perfect. Refinished? If so, what should I expect to spend to have a frame/fork chromed?
Yes you are right this was my buddy show from BMXmuseum web site. This was his wall hanger in his office. It was all re-chromed back in 2009/2010
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 👍
awesome. Mine was 85 too but Japan Made.
Question: What was the difference between a “World Tour” and a “Pro World Tour?”
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.
Can you make video abut GT Performer 1998?
Are they made it for trick like other Performer type?
Sorry I don't have a 1998 GT Performer to make a video with 👍
I have a 1985 with 3 holes in the rear drop pot
How does a person get a hold of you, would like to talk to you, thanks
Hes the Owner of 80's BMX Shop page over on Facebook. Thats were I have talked with him a few times on. I don't think you can DM/PM on youtube....
Yes I person who run the "80s BMX shop page on Facebook 👍. I post videos of my scores on there and I'll link my TH-cam over on there as well 👍👍
My 1986 pro performer missing a brake stay is that normal?
