I would've kept the white chain, went with pink Vans tires, pink hand grips (no flange) and a white GT seat. If I could find pink brake cables and pink nipples, I'd toss those into the mixture. The only thing I'd run on this particular GT is collapsible fork standers.
Martin Aparijo... forgot about him, awesome!! I owned a pro world tour in blue. The year before the frame change 86?? Remember Brian Blyther team Haro?
kjk811 god those were the days. I found Martin Aparijo on Instagram and sent him a message about how he was one of my childhood hero’s. He still rides.
I hade a 91 pro performer tour with crash dummies decals wish i could find that bike my cosin got it off me when i lerned to drive i had allot of good stuff on it too
I just noticed thats not the correct year fork,the correct fork has cable holes on both sides of the fork so the cable can come out from. All good though,i would have put some kind of power disc or compact disc for sprocket and a dominator seat.
I did have this identical bike in dayglo pink and would love to hire you guys to build me one . Please let me know if you are Interested or not ? Jamie in Milwaukee
Awesome bike i got my brothers hand me down gt i believe it was an 87 gt vertigo it was black purpke stickers with gold break levers n well someone broke into our shed n stole it i was so upset but i got a job a paperroute i was 12 n i saved up few months n bought myself a brandnew 95 gt vertigo black with red n yellow stickers i have owned 3 gts myself n then baught my don his first qhen he was 12 a gt mach one i love gt this bike build was awesome do u ever build up any gt vertigos i know im not only one to remember the vertigos
I have this same bike but in chrome any idea what its work it’s honestly in 8 out of 10 conditions no dents or dings other then a little bit of rust oh and its a 98 not the 87
An occasional slow ride around the block on a different set of tires is all that thing may see if it was in my posession. I'd ride it so casually, I wouldn't need to use either brake to come to a stop🤨.
Anodized parts look better on bmx. Freestyle was more bold, bright and opaque colors. Mismatched blue standers clash with those beautiful anodized rims. Too many directions, looks like just threw on whatever was lying around instead of custom. Those cranks are beastly! Probably performs excellent, just too busy.
I know the pink chain ties in to some of the stickers but c'mon man , not on this bike...use a regular stainless looking chain, brake levers, etc. Build those bikes for the type of guys that actually rode those bikes back in the day. You would have never caught anything like a pink chain on any dudes bike back then.
I know the purists will kill me, but i do not like the OEM GT handlebars. I am planning to equip the previous model than this GT Performer I ride with an unbranded 8"-9" rise handlebar. Of course in my opinion and others may argue, I honestly think that it will look better on the frame.
Yeah i get what ur saying..the distinction of pro freestyle tour was the components..otherwise its just a Gt Performer with random components and freestyle tour decal .
More 1987 builds please.. thats my year.. I had a Mongoose decade and a Diamondback Mike Dominguez. Cool year for BMX...

I use to have one in Day Glow pink autographed by Eddie Fiola and Martin Aparijo. Awesome.

That's a nice bike, great build , and cool parts too.👍😀
Looks great but it definately needs the folding front standers on the fork
HISTORY BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE !!!! NICE JOB FELLAS !!!
If I could thumbs up again,I WOULD !!!!
My first real bmx bike was a 94 gt pro freestyle tour. Wish I held on to and passed it down to my son.
I've been waiting for another gt build. ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!!!!!!!! Nice
Absolutely beautiful. Well done 🔥👌
Whoa that’s killer looking 👀
Your collection is getting very impressive!
I had a chrome one back in the day.
I remember the GT pro cranks we're so big. But they were the shit back in the day!!!!! 😂
I had one too.
great build guys!
One of my favorite builds!!!
I hade a 91 pro performer tour with crash dummies decals wish i could find that bike my cosin got it off me when i lerned to drive i had allot of good stuff on it too
Whoa! What headset is that? I'm currently running an Odyssey Dynatron on my '87 Master, but that sealed unit would be so much nicer.
That is one Badass Bike !!!!
Very nice! Great looking bike! 😍
Awesome !!! As usual.
Uma mais bonita que a outra essas bmx estou montando uma também com baze em todas essa tem uma cor mais bonita que a outra
GT's best year and frame.
That's a dope frame, but I'd go for the 99 Performer over this frame. The Show's frame would be my first choice if it wasn't so short🤗!
I agree
Nice. I have a 2019 gt air
Always wanted to try to ride one
Really nice🙏
I own a survivor 1986 Gt. Wish I was local.
I just noticed thats not the correct year fork,the correct fork has cable holes on both sides of the fork so the cable can come out from. All good though,i would have put some kind of power disc or compact disc for sprocket and a dominator seat.
Sweet!
Fire bro
Very nice
I had one.
I notice that you went with Primo cranks.
Are the GT cranks getting hard to find?
Linda bike quero ver ela aqui no Brasil
I did have this identical bike in dayglo pink and would love to hire you guys to build me one . Please let me know if you are Interested or not ? Jamie in Milwaukee
Where you find your frames?

I would of went with some blue pegs front and back and a blue chain other than that it's perfect.
Pena que aqui no brasil esse tipo de quadro e peças é difícil de encontra
Looks great. I’d have left the white chain and not used a black sprocket and goose neck
I have this same bike but in chrome any idea what its work it’s honestly in 8 out of 10 conditions no dents or dings other then a little bit of rust oh and its a 98 not the 87
Was that built for a customer or are these builds for sale?
for a customer
Where do you get these bikes
Sexiest cranks ever!!!
That's a show bike, not ment for riding...
Its just too gorgeous to ride...
An occasional slow ride around the block on a different set of tires is all that thing may see if it was in my posession. I'd ride it so casually, I wouldn't need to use either brake to come to a stop🤨.
Was that a threaded headset?
Yes
Do you work for Pork chop bmx ?
no harvester bmx

Damn dude ... Love all your Old school builds , this looks NICE !! Any of these ever go up for sale ?
Just looked you up, saw ur in Canada...

Now why didnt u get white gt tires
Team models
How much for that bike?
Maurice Hill cost me a ton
If you haven’t done the magic tire change are you even a bike you tuber ?
I want to no how much $
How much ?
Bike is dope but the sprocket is wacked.
I know the purists will kill me, but i do not like the OEM GT handlebars.
I am planning to equip the previous model than this GT Performer I ride with an unbranded 8"-9" rise handlebar.
Of course in my opinion and others may argue, I honestly think that it will look better on the frame.
that's not a 87 pro freestyle tout GT. Not even close
Yeah i get what ur saying..the distinction of pro freestyle tour was the components..otherwise its just a Gt Performer with random components and freestyle tour decal
.
Had to stop watching. The music got way to annoying
OK I hate dance music, with a passion...
Yet for some reason I find this tolerable.
Sick bike
