Merry Christmas from me to me lol. I wanted this for awhile now but it was always sold out, but then I just happened to see a shop online had some in stock so I got one quickly, and they sold out again the next day. They sell out even faster in the Spring/Summer so I figured I better get one while I can, and came along at the perfect time before Christmas, so another great gift from me to me! Lol. I thought they did not come out until 2021 hence the name, but maybe some shops got some early? Also I will be modifying it some with some old school parts like the layback seat post and Dominator seat etc, as I prefer the lighter plastic seat with the longer nose to connect to the bars easier, and what I have ridden with since 1986. Lots more pics to come!

GT 2021 Pro Performer 20" BMX Bike (20.75" Toptube) (White)

The 2021 GT Pro Performer 20" BMX Bike combines a fantastic color scheme with an old school frame design to create an awesome throwback to the good ol' days. All of the components utilize modern technology to make sure that the bike rides beautifully. Chromoly frame and forks, sealed headset and bottom bracket, and 3-piece cranks allow this to be more than just a show bike and can be really ridden without worry. The Pro Performer 20" is a great entry into GT's Heritage line.

I like it. A lot.

That frame style was my first New Good bike in 1985.

Un-slam that seat post and I'd ride it as-is. I'm glad that didn't make the seat post white... that'd be what they'd've done in 1986 and it was too much.
I like that this retro bike has skinwall tires but I think they're showing too much skin and look like beach cruiser tires. Other than that, I wouldn't change a darned thing.
