gt performer, dyno slammer, were good bikes that were not all that heavy, but trying to find a 90s one is harder than you think.............
Early 90's there were a load of lighter bikes - 1" headsets though. If you can find a mid/late GT race frame they're light, but if you're going for weight weenie, the late 90's/ early 2000's are not for you You can build up stuff that's not too heavy (but still pretty bad by todays standards) - the original set up of my DK General Lee (MK1) had DK race forks, Peregrine SP wheels, Profile cranks etc and didn't weigh too much.You will get used to the weight though (and gain a sh1t load of upper body strength), but if you want something a bit more 'jump on and ride', get a relatively modern bike
Most Mid School bikes are hooooooofin heavy I've got and S&M Dirt Bike and it weighs about the same as my car Some Mid school ride ok Basic rule I follow70's - 80's for show90's - 00's for a wobble around/pub bike/mess around or unless your a good rider...but even some of the faithful midschool's are converting to New bikesanything newer is good for a rider
My 01 GT Pro Freestyle Tour is 41.2 pounds If you took it into a streetfight you could throw a tailwhip and knock out an army of attackers.

I'm really stuck on what to buy now. I'll probably go with a 90's GT Performer if I can get one, and then if that's too heavy I might have to get my cheque book out and get an 80's one. I've seen some really cool old school tricks that I want to try and learn, and I know I can't attempt them on my Dyno. That's why I'm paranoid about the weight. Thanks for the replies.
it aint all about the pounds.......its about getting rad...i rode a zimma in the 90s and you couldnt lift it, saying that i cant lift it now......!!!!!
Just read my 'helpful' post, forgot to put '99 onwards' before Pro Performer, what a dumbarse.
