GT Performer pitbike

[CWC]

I was getting a ride to the MAX today and saw a pile of bikes in someones yard and took about a mile or two for my brain to place the cheesegrater sprocket and I had my buddy turn around so I could knock on the door and talk to the owner of said pile and she said five bucks and I almost pooped my pants. I loked in my wallet and all I had was a twenty so I gave her that and said I dont have change and I was walking away with my prize when she said wait this is too much let me give you change! (she could kept the $20 for all I cared but she insisted )

Nice score, probably worth a chunk of change, I had a 16" Haro fst that sold pretty good.

A buddy of mine has one locally. I would say DO NOT PAINT or POWEDERCOAT. The decals will then be reproductions, the paint will never be original. Just buy the small parts needed and keep it, or sell it to a freestyle guy who will appreciate it for just as it is. The wheel can be found and in the same shape. Grips can be found but it takes time to find items with the correct patina to match.
If you are going to sell it I would buy it but "pretty penny" is relative. My buddy paid $200 for one in nicer shape at a bike swap meet. I think that is a pretty good gauge. They are pretty tough to find and there are some guys who have had 26" and 24" custom ones built to match their 20", so I bet this would fall in line with having every size.

This will be a great before and after

 

[Araya51]

That's the plan on this little build MIGZ..
There's people that see it as why would your waste your time on something so beat up and I say "Why not".!!
It's going to be a challenge but that's why we are here to save them. No different than a car or a motorcycle or anything that we like to restore before it gets thrown to the dump..

 

[LIVE TO RIDE]

Don't change that original blue paint and decals!!!!

 

[Araya51]

Can you post a close up shot of the front forks Please.. I need to see what they look like if I ever run into a set..
