i still dont understand how he can be so certain of the daily commercial workings
of GT BITD?? there  must have been decisions made that dave wasn't privy to ::)

I run my own business and there is a lot that goes on that my staff are not aware of.
why would a team rider be told about business dealing that involve other riders?
and as the advert shows maybe he's not that clued up :)

the reason for starting this thread was to find out if such a bike existed and it clearing did!

i think the one we were talking about in the pub may never had gone into production but from reading the advert
it shows there WAS plans!!

I remember Dave Curry from the old magazines and Action Zone and all that.  I think I even coloured in some of my bike parts using those paint markers cos of an article he did in Action Bike.

But why would Dave know everything about what was going on at GT in the 80's?  Did he work for GT over in America?

Lets face it....Dave Currie isnt Eddie Fiola. Not being disrespectful to Dave. Eddie WAS the man at GT for freestyle. FACT!

At the end of the day i am sure Eddie had alot of influence over decisions made.

I was led to believe that he helped design the Performer by introducing the bend in the down tube and also the idea of using thicker tubing to get more grip on.

From a commercial point of view i think that it was an opportunity lost that they didnt create a Fiola bike. :P

Maybe he had a trans-Inter-continental-bmx-transmitter implanted in Fiola's and Gary Turners Head to keep abreast of business operations.

Yes but it was known as a World Tour. Not Eddie Fiola World Tour. Only the adds showed Eddie Fiola World Tour.

Basically this is what the guy may have been on about. For Gods sake it is over 20 years ago!  :)

Keep up Dan, that's the way this place works now. If you have an opinion that differs from a certain element then it's time to get flamed and abused.  :LolLolLolLol:

Could you please ask him if he ran a single piece crank on the 'other bike' he didnt use at KOS 84. Apparently he told a bloke over on the museum through myspace that he did. Takagi apparently. ??? Would love to hear it from the horses mouth otherwise ive gotta buy some 2nd gen profiles. :D
