my newest ride....

[CHADbee]

picked this 1994 GT Performer up off craiglist....always wanted this exact bike as a kid but ended up with a mongoose villain instead(before they went shitty and to wally world) now i own it!

plan on restoring it, spent about 5 hours tonight removing all the surface rust on the frame and forks and polishing the chrome. going to replace rusted bolts, repaint the bars flat black with neon yellow splatter paint to match the decals or just flat black, new black grips and new tires. working on finding new decals for it as well...if i cant find them i guess i will have to have a decal shop make them.

plan on spending many weekend evenings this summer cruising around downtown on it....so if anybody wants to go ride and get some dinner(no homo) let me know and we will set-up something!

Well those bikes are not to keen for cruising around but the wheels deff not....If you want absorbency for riding get some wheels with spokes lol

[CHADbee]

Sweet man. Looks good. Remember my first real BMX Bike was a Blue Haro Zippo. had the 8ball front sprocket on it. Warped the wheels on it jumping it too high and instead of buying new wheels i ended up buying a Diamondback cause it was a lot lighter. Think the frame is still sitting under my parents house back in georgia. Been there for about 10 years now lol. I should do something with it...

if it is an 80's model its worth some serious cash dude!

anything from the 80's is big money....which is whatever, id rather have a mid 90's bike anyways.

[-EnVus-]

Yeah the 90's was good with BMX bikes

[CHADbee]

hmmm i believe mine isnt quite that old. unfortunately i cant get on ebay in afghanistan because its blocked so i cant look at that link... Ill have to look into it lol.

its an 1985 Haro Freestyle Master with the current bid at $905!!!

[CHADbee]

Damn. Thats crazy. I think i might get my frame sent to me once i get back so i can restore it. Would be nice to have a cool old bike.

Here's what mine looked like except it had wire wheels. http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/haro/13514
That color would be awesome with the chromed wire spokes or the Lime green Stars

[CHADbee]

depending on the year and model. the 00's arent worth shit, the 90's are worth 150-250 bucks in good condition, 80's model are worth a good bit....like 350 all the way up to the thousands.

[MeFryRice]

You already know I'm game to ride. Just need to fill the tires and I'll be ready. Been forever since I've been on it. Lol.

Looks good. Damn, didn't know Mongoose fell so low to make it to Walmart. I remember everyone wanting a Mongoose back in the day. Same time Starter use to be the shit and is now at Walmart and cheap.

[boostedb16]

I had a GT pro performer stolen when I was a kid. My dad took me to a old furniture store to buy me a used bike after that. Went up stairs a bought a bad ass and really lite REDLINE for 15 bucks lol.

[boostedb16]

Haha the rig shot is bad ass. You know I will doing this with my daughter and her bike lol.

yeah i had a villain and am still looking for one now but they are hard to find. they got bought out by another company and that company took them from hardcore bmx and freestyle to mainstream bullshit.
