Tom, I asked this question a while ago. The forks are the race type, I think. Can't see the dropouts on the frame tho. I got a set of them forks :santa_afro: Ad

Fiola rode race forks on his yellow performer but for some reason rode performer forks on some of his other bikes. The burgundy one at the Kellogs had later GT forks in chrome with the slots and the White one at the French worlds had performer forks
He also rode pro race bars on the yellow one and not the performer bars but did use performer bars later on the white one (probably following pressure from GT). Pretty sure the frame was the standard performer frame with the holes.

So what your saying jazz is throw a lot of performer parts together and paint it yellow and you could say that was the one when

Yep Nana, mind you like most of my old bikes you'd find parts you liked and rode them on other things. I had DB pro bars on my performer cos I'd grown up with them, and d'you know I still have that same set on my race bike today.
Lovin' the grub screw idea - I used to put a slice of wet and dry sandpaper in the stem of my Puch Murray, that worked a treat.
Oh and hi Andy good to see you on here - muchos respectos, still recovering from the 3 breaks stopping you ultraquick on that breakdancer I see!! lol

I think bars are more personal than Frames - once I've found a set - right width, rake, height I never want to let them go!
I ran renthal Pete Middleton bars bitd - from christmas 83, every build or bike from them until I stopped riding in 89 had them on. Currently they are on my 84 quad that I ride now...
I had and still have - the Grip tape that was used for skateboards on them to stop them slipping.
