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.

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.

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.

@bmxpicker 11 ай бұрын

Dose it an "FS" stamp in front of of the serial number gaped out a little bit ?

@papermoonmarc 11 ай бұрын

@@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.

That chrome looks fresh and perfect. Refinished? If so, what should I expect to spend to have a frame/fork chromed?

@bmxpicker 2 жыл бұрын

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

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?

@ryant75 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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?

@bmxpicker 2 жыл бұрын

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 👍

Question: What was the difference between a “World Tour” and a “Pro World Tour?”

@bmxpicker Жыл бұрын

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 👍

@corrioliseffect Жыл бұрын

@@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.
