Without a serial number I'd guess at an '86 Performer

[adenough]

im not so sure mate, its only got 3 holes on the rear drop outs? and i dont think the seat stays are flush with the top tube, but thanks anyways, ohhhhh, im confused

There were some '86 Performers with the 3 holes (I think Pro Performers all had 4 in '86). Also, could be the angle of the photo, but those stays look flush to me, espescially where they join the top tube.

It could just as easily be an '85, but I was just guessing between '85 & '86 without a serial number.

Defo not an '84 and not US made, I'll also hazard a guess you'll find the serial number under the BB

cool, ive mailed me bro for the frame number, hopefully get back to me later, dont know what time it is over there

I thought GT were making there F&F in the US right upto the late 90s

I put the    smiliey at the end of my post because I was thinking you should run an 'Identify This Performer' Poll - a bit like a sweep 

[adenough]

   just phoned me bro, its all boxed up n ready to send,, so no frame number till it lands in blighty, hopefully next weekend

I'll have a stab at a Japanese made 85....baseball symbol on dropout, serial on B/B starting with a G perhaps......

I'm pretty sure they had some made overseas (Japan or Tiawan), the ones with the serial numbers starting with a 'G' on the bottom bracket, but I don't really know anything much about GT past '85-'86

Here's a snapshot out of the 1986 GT Catalogue
