82-83-84 Gt Pro from £200 to £400 depending on age and condition, there is a belter in the for sale section.

 Take your time on the build is my only advice, source correct era parts and dont rush it, to many dogs dinners made out of decent bikes because of rushing to finish.

Good luck on the build  :daumenhoch:

That bad boy is mine now  :) I'm building it up for the budget build off. I'm really looking forward to getting it done. I've always fancied a GT after seeing Eddie Fiola in magazines and on the telly.

There are a few Vertigos on bmx museum:

Is this for F&F or full bikes? Because the kit fitted to some of these bikes puts your prices way out!
