Matt them decals are 85 mate, check out the adverts for it in tech and resto 85, if its a late 84 i think they could be correct, Handsome Pete may be able to offer more on this.

i could do, but, not till matt brings it to my house

They are only re-issue ones. Took the Ukais and the Comp III's off as I did not want to screw them up.

Me and Bigfrawg had big plans but it pi$$ed it down so we went to the pub

I think so, I had never heard of them before but a few people have reffered to them as Andy Patterson Pro Bars so I am guessing you and them know what your talking about

(I found a nice track in Waterlooville at Jubilee Park - got some great tables and berms - all downhill and in need of an Old School thrash session.)

Some nice bikes chaps and props to ya for riding it...

I've put together a GT for the os racing, i bought it as an 84 Pro, its got no holes in the rear dropouts and no hole in the forks for a front brake

Serial numbers on the inside of the rear right dropout, theres a 4 thats seperate from the rest 131978 (the 9 might be an 8 hard to tell)

Is it an 84?... im confused.com...

Mines a 1984 Pro....3 hole drop outs, drilled forks frame no; G684****......atleast I think its a G as it is faint ?

I know mine as I had it new in 84

1984 was the year they started the slant/stamped top tube.

It could be 181 dude, its had a powdercoat so its hard to tell and my eyes are fecked for reading owt up close...

The end of the toptube is straight rather than slanted like mr rs turbo's

could be a jan 81, is the downtube smaller than the top tube by any chance

series.1.rs.turbo · « **Reply #45 on:** April 11, 2009, 11:41 PM »

hard to tell from the pic but it looks to have the slanted end toptube, so it would atleast be a 84 if my memory is right

Toptube and downtube look the same size to me, if they're differant it aint obvious, i'll wait while it picks up a few battle scars then have a scratch at the serial number and see if i can make it out better

Just took some pics, photofukets on a go slow...
