survivor/rider 1984 GT PRO

[waza04]

hi radsters, been back into bmx for just over a year now, this is my second build, a haro group1 rs1 being the first as a tester...... nuff said. 
i always wanted a chrome gt as a kid, but money being a big factor in the house hold, my dad found me a bike at the tip and transformed it into a beaut little bike, which i loved until someone half inched it.
having always loved the gt bmx, when markyp put this 1984 pro frame & forks up for sale i couldn't resist......
This is no show winner by all means, as im going to ride it, the f&f, bars, wheels, brakes, crank, are survivor, and i have tried to keep the survivor look, with the exception off a few bits!
can't wait to get it down my old race track! western park in leicester..............   im really pleased with it,  a few piccy's, sorry bout the picnic bench set and lack of sun, hope iv'e done it justice.... enjoy gt fans!

id also like to thank a few peeps on here for help and support with a few parts.
markyp, quadrophenia, pickle, davevilla, snav69, macmania.  cheers guys!

[hunterdubber]

 


Aye , I love 'em 


I had a GT standard (expert) the same ,as a kid  so I have a soft spot for em

but there  only 17.5 tt ,

 and I think my Pro is small and a knee banger 

invest in some  pads

Tidy rider 

[Bettyswallocks]

Very nice.... 

Tighten the chain before you ride it though... 

[markyp]

awesome work wayne,youve more than done it justice

[Bigplinky]

Really nice lookin' bike matey but if your going to use it as a rider I would put a longer stem on 

[Munnyella]

Nice bike, always fancied a GT myself.

Western Park isn't what it was, used to race there myself back in 82,3 and 4, pretty much a right off this time of year too.

Where in Leicester are you?, Huncote is a nice `easy' track, pretty good all year due to tarmac berms, not brill, but rideable and apparently there is still a track at Shepshed, not been though. Beaumont leys could be good, but isn't!!!

I am in Kirby Muxloe, let us know of any spots you may know of!

Get yourself down to the boardroom (check `members gatherings, Lest'air thread') next saturday, for a very relaxed roll around indoors!!

cheers for all  the comments guys! much appreciated!  there will be a few tweaks,  the chain slacked off abit when i blasted it through the house, and the stem, but as im only 5 foot should be fine

cheers mate, im just out of town, i think you pretty much named them all of them that i know! i don't think i'll risk boggy flea's {beaumontleys} though, probably get shot and the bike taxed! 

i was actually thinking of going to that mate, i'll ask the mrs if its ok!
