Are they really that rare/expensive? I have one in really good condition, and it fits my 1988 haro sport, is that the one you're looking for?

dont fit one the pfts didt come with bash guards only the slammers did
Agreeing to the fact that I have never, ever, seen a PFT with a bashguard. Period.
the vertigo had a bashguard fitted in the 1992 catalouge
thats cos GT didnt use the PFT`s for street, the only bikes that were used for street by team riders were the aggressors from 89-90 which had buillt in bashguards then in 91 the last gt street bike aggressor came with a bolt on bash guard, while the PFT`s were only used for flatland and ramps by the team riders till around 92-93 then PFT became just a ramp bike for GT`s big air shows around 93-94 to 2001, the dyno slammer re-mane as a street bike with a bolt on bashguard till around 96 with the LORD VOELKER tearing sh1t updont qoute me on any of this though cos i dont really no much about GT

Both bikes had identical geometry, and aside from the cosmetics of the F+F and bars were almost identical. Rob Nolli was a team rider and rode flat and ramp on a Slammer. Nolli was never known as a "street" rider but rode a Slammer in all the GT flat and ramp shows right up until the canned the brand. John Peacy on the other hand was on GT and rode park and street on a PFT. You could haveten see him in the bicycle stunt comps riding all disciplines on his PFT. I think he even won the 93 Stunt Boy series in both street and vert on one. Outside of the GT team (which was essentially just a demo team in any case) more street riders chose to ride PFT's over Slammers as well (If the didnt choose to ride a Homeless, S&M, WAL, or Standard first).So yes GT did their best to segment the bikes in an effort to justify selling two bikes that were basically identical. In reality though those definitions weren't so clear.

Im specifically referring to the 93 and 94 models. Each of those years that shared geometry but obviously not cosmetic looks.
Looking good, love your build fella got one myself and love it, http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/gt_bicycles/46785
