Author Topic: White Fiola GT Pro Performer replica (Read 4928 times)

Guys, I want to get together a white Fiola GT Pro Performer replica bike (yes got another frame / forks coming...

) but want to know what the spec was for this bike?

I have a few parts which he used on that bike:

- NOS Black GT Mallet Stem
- White Epoc GT Headset
- Black GT seat clamp
- Dyno fork standers
- White GT layback

Bits I see in this photo below are:

- Black AME Rounds
- Black tuffs (just sold mine, doh!)
- White MX1000 + Tech 4 levers?
- Are they GT pedals? I think GT?
- Can't see the seat?

Has anyone got a decent side photo of Fiola's white GT? Maybe too hard to get together exactly but i'll have a go over the next couple few months as well as my other 4 builds (its getting to be too much)... although would be nice to have this white beast done for Christmas

Cheers,

Matt

They are DX pedals.

Unsure on the brake levers - I imagine Tech 4's as it was 85.

Seat? Who knows?! He rode all sorts...could be a GT cycle pro/jaguar thingy or a Kashi aero.

Ive got some Black Ame's if you want em - think they are tri's rather than rounds...

I was gonna do this bike Matt.

Pete Quad has more pics but he is away.

Cant remember the parts. The MX1000's in white put me off. Cant believe i sold mine ages ago!

Im doing a white 84 performer with rims and blue parts at the mo.

Seems everyone is doing a white one.

I ot mine back from SBD's today. That boy can paint!

Hi Nick, good to hear from you mate, shame you weren't at the ride on sunday but had a damn good chat with donkey bam bam, his a top bloke

Yeah I am interested in doing this bike, the white ones I've always loved but I have seen one with black tuffs and another with black z's, both of those with fiola riding. I may opt for the z's version as it will be something different as mainly all my builds have tuffs. Would be interested to see the version with the z's though....

Will wack mine up to Dan's next week hopefully

Take it easy and cheers,

Matt

Here's another pic, they look like the version he had with Z's but not 100% on that, also this time got white pedals (look like MKS or KKT / SR?) and definately a white seat of some sort....

Just wish I could see that bike in more detail!

Swivel · « **Reply #8 on:** September 25, 2008, 08:37 AM »

Need this magazine issue to see more details me thinks... has Moley got this one?

You sure they are white, and not silver reflecting the suns rays

I've got that issue, it's not for sale but one full size, hi-res scan coming up...

Top man

This is as hi res as I could get it to fit on a regular image host. If you need it bigger and un-cropped let me know and I'll sort something out.

In my opinion they're way too skinny for Z's and the rear looks like it's got shine side.

(it's a thumbnail - you gotta touch it to make it bigger

)

dont quote on this but I think the white parts are the same as his white parts on his red tour bike. there's a vid of him on youtube on Wacaday.

you may be able to get some help from it.

cheers marc

I just looked at my scan full size again and it looks to me as if he's running white forks and a chrome frame in that pic. $:-\$

Swivel · « **Reply #15 on:** September 26, 2008, 08:32 AM »

Yeah I see that, god damn it!

thanks Mark for the scan though mate, you're a winner

Although I seem to remember his bike being more like the top image that I put up. I sort of remember that from a morning show all those years ago. I think in hindsight this maybe too difficult to achieve but i'll have a go at a very close fiola rep with what's here and what I remember also and I do remember Z's, as it was the printing on the side of the z's that stuck in my mind and since then i've always wanted a pair

Cheers lads,

Matt

macmark · « **Reply #16 on:** September 26, 2008, 03:45 PM »

I had a flick through my mags and found these pics also. None with z's though

You might want to see if there's any pics of him in BMX Action Bike issues 28 & 29, I haven't got those ones but in issue 27 he's on the yellow bike and in 30 he's on the white one. Also in the scan of the article below there's a bit about when & why he went for the white bike.

Hope they're of some help.

An enlarged scan of the pic in the article above. (thumbnails as before so click to see full size)

You'd think by the big text on the cover "FIOLA IN FRANCE" there'd be more than 1 small pic and 2 small columns of text eh!

Cheers

Thanks mate. I see the tuffs but no z's

Definately remember him doing stuff with z's on and that was a black and white bike too.

I think i'll try and get something close to it. Stil unsure about that seat though... looks like a GT seat?

Cheers,

Matt

macmark · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2008, 04:02 PM »

No worries mate,

I've got another pic which is him on the white bike with white wheel discs on, it's a centre page poster so I'll try and get it scanned later on.
