Just looking through the pictures of MK and the two bikes that really stand out for me are the 2 GT Pro Performer 24's.

Is there a build thread on them as I've not seen anything like them before.

That pink one is off the hook. Were they custom built or did they come that way?

They are both 2009 Knight Proformer frame sets. There were only 30 made by Knight in two batches of 15.
They came bare metal with Spanish BB, 1 1/8th Integrated headset and rear 990 mounts.

The pink one had the cable guide on the right front fork and is from the 2nd batch. Hence the 901 front caliper potts fit.

The blue one was from the first batch and has the cable guide on the left front fork.
It has the 990 mounts and rear cable guides removed and a 901 caliper fitted, so is unique!
Makes it look more Old School.

Building them wasn't that easy as they are retro styling but new school geometry and fittings.
I've always loved the GT blue so that was a no brainer.

The pink one was done to be in your face

The colour changes as you walk around it orange/pink/orange.

I guess they are marmite but always turn heads
