I might pass it on then or trade it. I'll wait for it to arrive and see what it's like in the flesh first.

Since i came back i've seen a couple of TA's done to look like Dirt Bro's bikes but that's the first i've seen that's an original.

Just got this picture from the seller with the serial number on.

I got an email from him today saying that the serial number on the bb was probably low.

"The only number I see on the bb is either a 9 or a 6. That woyuld make this an incredibly valuable bike if it truly were that low of a serial number!"

Picture of the rear dropout.

Hey, Quad, did I tell you I might have an 84 performer? (Im not joking, I just got a call about it)

I think I am going to build it a a Skyway, sorry Alex. I will keep all the other bits thought so That I can rebuild it as a Dirt Bros if I want.

should start a vote shouldn't I, see what the community at large think.

F**k the community. Hardly anyone here was riding at that time and dont know the dirt bros. That is like finding Bob Haros Torker and building it back to a race bike!

Just what we need .... another spec TA!

sorry si, but i gotta agree with alex, if you want a ta they keep coming up on usbay, £113 the other week, and you need ta forks for that one there harder to find than the bloody frames

listen up dude with the dirt bros, that shit is pricless. please watch 'ride like a man' and vic murphys section in it, it changed my life. BMX was lost in those years, there was a few people that kept it going, including the maker of that bike....

Ok, Ok, Ok

It's going to stay as is.

Should I restore it to showroom spec or keep it as a survivor?

Anyone got any brochures on the Dirt Bros bikes so that I can see what they looke like as they rolled out the factory so to speak.

"Showroom spec", "Brochures"? Spoken like a tru 80s rider! That IS showroom spec. If you wanna see a Brochure, check out the "Ride Like a Man" Vid that was made in Eddie Romans Bedroom. That is all the Brochures there were.

Sorry, Zippy. I am giving you a bit of a hard time, just playing with you a little. Great to hear you arent going to make it shinny and new. DONT REMOVE THE STICKERS. I really do think we need to talk about it cos that bike means so much to so many people (you should see my Email in box since you posted those pics!!).
