I recon Retrogeezers Chrome one is quite a good vintage.

Jay's Yellow one is old too.

Hi

I know of a yellow one that is still about and that was early 84 at the latest, I'll get pics sometime.

It was PB's (same chap as the MRD) and was one of the first out of his mums shop.

What year did they start?

Thanks

I believe they started production in Feb/March 84...

Pete (Quadrophenia) - do you know for sure?

Think Gerry's one is an 85 and the chrome one Pete was riding a couple of weeks back was a Dec 84.

There must be loads of those around, they were so popular...That one of yours is a bit delicious mate, very nice!
Are you styling this evening incidentally??

Stodgy · « **Reply #7 on:** October 13, 2005, 01:36 PM »

Why thank you - she is lovely and nearly finished! If only I could get to parts before Pete buys 'em up!!

Stodgy · « **Reply #18 on:** October 13, 2005, 05:41 PM »

Wow - loads of nice early ones! Excellent stuff! Really great to see them all and get some GT love going.

cymruambyth - do you not love your performer? Get that restored dude!

Or give it to me before Pete buys it!

Dirtyvans - we ride at Pete (quadrophenia) and Gerry's ramp...

Not a silly question at all - the serial number is stamped into the drop-out. What i mean by un-stamped is where normally GT's are stamped 'GT' in the end of the top tube, mine is not, as are alot of early pro performers.

Oh I think I have a contender.

I bought my chrome performer around April 84 and I still have it.

I remember gagging for one and pre ordered mine from Stechford Cycles in Brum. I'll check the chassis number when I get chance (it's all packed neatly away). They were released early 84 definately.
