the vertigo and performer are both trimoly not full 4130 chromoly going by the 95 catalougehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/82701205@N04/7575851638/lightbox/it seems they dont mention this in the 96 catalouge and just say they feature chromoly tubing, not saying full 4130 chromoly
So will need gyro to run rear brake?

trimoly tubing is weaker, basically only the top tube and downtube are full 4130 chromoly the rest is made of a milder steelnot a problem for the kind of action it will see now but back when new trimoly bikes were crap and bent, broke easily due to the weaker tubing used and the style of riding at the time.even full 4130 chromoly bikes broke with enough abuse but the trimoly ones didnt last 5 mins in the right hands

the first 2 are mine, the pro freestyle is just a pic i got of the museumthat was relatively cheap!! gt were a big company back then but the quality wasnt that good, a complete bike for that price wasnt going to last but it was better than some of the other completes out therei paid £550 for my standard sta frame and fork back in 94, add another £200 for peregrine super pro wheels, £200 for profile cranks and your nearly at 1k and still need bars, stem, saddle, post, seat clamp, seat, tyres. pegs, gyro, brakes, levers, grips, pedals, freewheel, chain etc...a good bike wasnt cheap but it would last!!!!
