Cheers for the links Kev  :daumenhoch:

Yea they came with 2 clamps but because the guy I bought this off said it came off of a GT performer I just assumed it had the right size clamp.  :'( He obviously wasnt running it correctly. That spare clamp looks like the bigger size one but I will send them a mail and ask. Its worth a shot.

Are they really that rare/expensive? I have one in really good condition, and it fits my 1988 haro sport, is that the one you're looking for?

Yes the 88 Sport and my PFT have the same size down tube. Do you want to sell it? And if so how much?

A little more progress on the build. Managed to pick up a sealed bearing front hub pretty cheap but an still searching for a rear.



I also managed to get a lay back post and the correct double bolt seat clamp thanks to some Rad Members  :daumenhoch:



I also got this chunk of alloy that Im going to use to machine a spacer for my bash guard.

They werent stock on the bikes but they were featured as an aftermarket accessory in the catalogue, along with the 4 different axle extender options.  ;)

Agreeing to the fact that I have never, ever, seen a PFT with a bashguard. Period.

A few randoms Google came up with (not all 94's).







Early 90's PFT's were priced silly high, and as the bash was an aftermarket accessory that cost a lot as well people seldom bought both. So you wont see them together often, but the bash guard was designed to be run on the bike, and was sold in the catalogue along side the PFT. But if you ask me thats even more reason to build a PFT with one on...  :4_17_5:

thats cos GT didnt use the PFT`s for street, the only bikes that were used for street by team riders  were the aggressors from 89-90 which had buillt in bashguards then in 91 the last gt street bike aggressor came with a bolt on bash guard, while the PFT`s were only used for flatland and ramps by the team riders till around 92-93 then PFT became just a ramp bike for GT`s big air shows around 93-94 to 2001, the dyno slammer re-mane as a street bike with a bolt on bashguard till around 96 with the LORD VOELKER tearing sh1t up

(1990 2 slammers designed that year with built in bashguard and bolt on from 91 )

but ye the bashguard was an accessory so you could fit to anything you wanted to basically  :daumenhoch:


dont qoute me on any of this though cos i dont really no much about GT  :-X

dont qoute me on any of this though cos i dont really no much about GT  :-X  

The whole PFT for ramp / Slammer for street was purely marketing and didnt really manifest its self in reality. Both bikes had identical geometry, and aside from the cosmetics of the F+F and bars were almost identical. Rob Nolli was a team rider and rode flat and ramp on a Slammer. Nolli was never known as a "street" rider but rode a Slammer in all the GT flat and ramp shows right up until the canned the brand. John Peacy on the other hand was on GT and rode park and street on a PFT. You could haveten see him in the bicycle stunt comps riding all disciplines on his PFT. I think he even won the 93 Stunt Boy series in both street and vert on one. Outside of the GT team (which was essentially just a demo team in any case) more street riders chose to ride PFT's over Slammers as well (If the didnt choose to ride a Homeless, S&M, WAL, or Standard first).

So yes GT did their best to segment the bikes in an effort to justify selling two bikes that were basically identical. In reality though those definitions weren't so clear.  :daumenhoch:

the gt uk team used them for everything

ian morris-gt pft for street riding, big handrails, dirt jumping aswell as ramp riding

mike canning-dyno slammer vert riding, dirt jumping aswell as street riding

just because a company says a product is for a certain discipline dosent mean it gets used for that

look how many people rode a s&m holmes for street and vert even though it was ment to be a race/dirt jump bike

Sorry about that I should have clarified. Im specifically referring to the 93 and 94 models. Each of those years that shared geometry but obviously not cosmetic looks.
