After not wanting to ride my show pony around at MK and got bored with walking everywhere I'm looking for a rider.

What do we reckon out of this little lot?

1) GT Performer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320400737406
~~2) Redline RL340 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250469271324~~
~~3) Unknown freestyler (Possibly Freeway) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270432003192~~
4) GT Vertigo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320401666472
~~5) Dyno http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=160350674934~~
6) GT Performer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130319053174

Only looking to spend as close to £50 as I can (Not £120, £150, or £300+

) as I've got other builds going on so fundage is being put into these.

The older skool the better and I'm not sure what's what in this regard with the ones I have selected. I know it's a bit subjective as it should be what I like but in terms of the complete bikes and the quality of components is there a real no brainer?

Mny thx

I reckon the GTs are pretty nice,doesn`t take a lot to get them looking great & instantly recognisable.

Which one m8?

A GT Vertigo/Performer it is if I can find one for the right price

I've found another on the Bay...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130319053174

I'm sure I'm getting boring to some of you but I'm still struggling with this stuff and need all the help I can get.

I DO value ALL comments, when they're given...

I think it's now about the components that are coming with these rather than the f+f. I'm just not up to speed with Mid School yet...

Mny thx in advance

Lamby, GT vertigo's look nice with spokes or mags imo, also a good sturdy frame too for slams and beats

Iv got a dyno that i blast about on and its held out great.

Early mids is just what id go for bud. Just my opinion so dont shout if im wrong pweeez

Really? What makes u think that Pickle? Looks the same as #4 to me

g_lamb · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:33 AM »

Am I being too optimistic to get a MS GT Vertigo/Performer for the budget I've set of £50?

g_lamb · « **Reply #17 on:** July 25, 2009, 03:32 PM »

Just emailed the chap about 1) above and he has confirmed they are "slightly" bent. Apparently I can't go wrong for £40 for the F+F, Bars & Seat Post...

That's funny, I thought to myself. I'd usually like the forks to not snap on me

Thx for spotting this Pickle!

The search continues...

GT Vertigo would deffo recommend, just my opinion.....

Always use it and has lasted (mind you I don't rip skateparks up !!) for a bit of racing, a bit of freestyle and lots for riding about. You can always muck about with em, ie old skool flavour if the full mid skool aint your thing. F&F the same in both pics, just changed decals over time......

Rider/freestyle and general posing about on

Racer of a fashion

Had plenty of good GT times

Good luck in your search anyway dude.

I like both looks..

I'm bidding on a bike in Tyne & Wear. It's only @ Â£26 at the mo'. Luckily me folks are that way next week and can pick it up for me (if I win...). Not sure how much these typically go fo (f+f or complete)?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250468968035

I wasn't a fan of these style GT frames but they have grown on me and i think this is the one for me for mucking about on...
