At last !

After trying for at least 12-18 months I have obtained a new project. It's a (Sept. 83 , frame no. starts 983 ?) GHP Pro that a good mate of mine raced from 83/84 - 86. It has'nt been used for approx 19 years and needs restoring so here begins my first serious resto project.

Very nice, mate. If you need a hand getting bits, let me know. I have just completed a build.

Cheers Sub ,

I've been told that a guy called Mario on osbmx has done repro chrome/lined decals for these , did you get repros and were they from him ?.

Your GHP looks sweet , Any help on finding bits would be much appreciated.

yes - the decals on my GHP are Mario's - he is MS4962 on www.os-bmx.com.

Any help I can give you, let me know. Just dont ask for Star Bars!!!

If you ever get fed up with it, let me know. I would love to build another one.

Just like buses! wait ages for one, then two come at once. Can you see how green I am. Good luck with the build. Now off to cry and stamp my feet. LOL

Wow - nice bike.

Just clean it up and keep it as it is.....a survivor.

Got two on the go. Need forks for both. (But that's another story LOL). Thinking of putting different forks on them untill I can get my hands on some originals. Suggestions on what type welcome.

What GHP's are they? What year? Post a pic?

I can give you any advise on getting forks, except patience. You've not made it easy for yourself, but its a bigger challenge to overcome. Good luck to you.

Bobby ,

The Hutch forks look similar as the kinda curve goes at the top ?

Loads of those around lol
