    Anybody here know anything about the modern world of GTs?

    I've just finished my current build and I'm looking at the carcasses that donated parts, and I have enough parts to make up one more bike to sell cheap and recoup the few quid I spent getting the parts.

    I'm guessing it's a mid-school era bike. It weighs 100 tonnes and seems to be made out of anti-tank plating.

    Takes 14mm axles front and back. Has brackets for a Giro (got the giro. I hate giros)

    Would be interested to know if this is a known bike. I'm 100% sure it's a Taiwanese pice of shit, but before I strip the paint off and use up the very last bit of my gold paint turning it into a glam rock piece of shit, I thought I'd see if anyone says "Oh yeah that's the GT MegaTurd frm 1998"

    • Pacman forks place it somewhere between 97 and 2001 apparently.Horp
    • Personally I think it's a fucking horrible looking thing, but looking at pics of them in full fettle, I can see it looking pretty with the right parts & decalsHorp
    • ^ Not that it will be getting those from me.

    • Looks like an early 2000s mid schoolprophetone
    • Been through the entire catalogue for the pacman years. Can't find it. They may be hokey forks. Just been looking at 2012-2013 in case they did them then too.Horp
    • I'll ask in the OSBMX FB group, thanks Prophetone!Horp
    • LOL I think they shit-canned my request :)
      It is a midschool frame though so fair enough I guess.      Horp
    • It's bugging me now. I was just going to do a quick n dirty paint job and throw it together for a £30 sale. BUT NOW I MUST KNOW WHAT IT IS.Horp
    • Possibly an 05 Performer?

    • Look at even the fork dropouts, is similar https://bmxmuseum.co…prophetone
    • Might be up or down a year?prophetone
    • OOOOH! Yes. Handlebars are the same shape too. 2nd link doesn't have pacmans but I reckon these are knock of Tai Pacmans. They look cronky.Horp
    • Thanks Prophetone. Guess which year I gave up looking on...

      ... 2004 :)      Horp
    • And KERCHING! This bad boy could earn me $30

    • Or you could just trade it for a gold plated Hutch Trickstarprophetone
    • I got a 80s Kuwie Apollo frame/fork/bar here that's thrashed and plan to strip it, paint it gloss piano black, maybe go anodized gold, yellow rubber routeprophetone
    • Sounds nice P. Got any pics of it right now?

      I do love a gloss black frame. I generally do all of mine gloss black because you cannot go wrong with that.      Horp
    • Also, anodised Bear Traps would look lush on a Kuw I think. I ought to show you my absolute travesty of a 24" Kuw-a-like I made up from a Felt racing frame.Horp
    • I wanna go this route with it, altho mine is originally a pink 1985 Kuwahara Super Nova Apollo? So a new color, style, black gold anodized and yellowprophetone
    • this route, these guys dod a great job with this survivor: https://www.youtube.… - and a big yes to a set of yellow bear trapsprophetone
