survivor/rider 1984 GT PRO
« on: December 12, 2010, 06:15 PM »
hi radsters, been back into bmx for just over a year now, this is my second build, a haro group1 rs1 being the first as a tester...... nuff said.  :crazy2:
i always wanted a chrome gt as a kid, but money being a big factor in the house hold, my dad found me a bike at the tip and transformed it into a beaut little bike, which i loved until someone half inched it.
having always loved the gt bmx, when markyp put this 1984 pro frame & forks up for sale i couldn't resist......
This is no show winner by all means, as im going to ride it, the f&f, bars, wheels, brakes, crank, are survivor, and i have tried to keep the survivor look, with the exception off a few bits!
can't wait to get it down my old race track! western park in leicester.............. ;D  im really pleased with it,  a few piccy's, sorry bout the picnic bench set and lack of sun, hope iv'e done it justice.... enjoy gt fans!

id also like to thank a few peeps on here for help and support with a few parts.
markyp, quadrophenia, pickle, davevilla, snav69, macmania.  cheers guys!  :daumenhoch:

Nice bike, always fancied a GT myself.

Western Park isn't what it was, used to race there myself back in 82,3 and 4, pretty much a right off this time of year too.

Where in Leicester are you?, Huncote is a nice `easy' track, pretty good all year due to tarmac berms, not brill, but rideable and apparently there is still a track at Shepshed, not been though. Beaumont leys could be good, but isn't!!!

I am in Kirby Muxloe, let us know of any spots you may know of!

Get yourself down to the boardroom (check `members gatherings, Lest'air thread') next saturday, for a very relaxed roll around indoors!!

cheers mate, im just out of town, i think you pretty much named them all of them that i know! i don't think i'll risk boggy flea's {beaumontleys} though, probably get shot and the bike taxed!  :knuppel2:

i was actually thinking of going to that mate, i'll ask the mrs if its ok!  :2funny:
