GT Pro Performer Heritage Retro BMX Bike

GT Pro Performer Heritage Retro BMX Bike

Finally we have the new GT Pro Performer Heritage bikes. To bring you to speed, these bikes have all the looks of a 1986 Performer but are designed for modern riding, so yeah you could actually enter a Pro contest on one of these bikes - or of course you could just use it to roll to the pub on a Sunday and get stopped every 5 minutes by people saying "cool bike, man".

View the options we have available here

The Pro Performer has a long 21" toptube (the originals were something like 18.5"), 9.125" bars (styled on the '86 Freestyle bars) and a long layback pivotal seatpost with a padded seat. Stock wheels are GT Superlace alloy with GT LP-5 tyres in modern 2.35" width. 

Power Series alloy cranks (updated version of the originals) rolling on a sealed bearing bottm bracket. A modern 1 /8" clamp-on version of the classic Mallet stem, keeps everything tight up front. Grips are GT mushrooms, the front and rear brakes are quality Odyssey Springfields. All in all a really solid rideable package that looks amazing too. 

Additionally - to give it that full on 80's look - we are ofering these with Skyway Tuff wheels, sealed bearing with 9T driver, 14mm rear axle and 10mm front. Now also including a full-factory Graphite option with gold alloy flange (see link above). 

Here is an excerpt from the 1986 catalog featuring the Pro Performer. We did actually make a replica of this a couple of years ago and could probably do so again if anyone is interested contact us.
