wanted to take the time and publicly thank mykesbykes here on vintage.
i have been looking for a GT Show for about 6 months and he turned me onto this Show on a classified site.
ended up being one heck of a score. $300

thanks again mykesbykes ! you are the man !!!!

but i figured i would post it here in the freestyle section.
this is the main style bike i collect....pacman dropout GT/Dyno and Powerlite.

i have new cables, NOS levers and NOS pegs on the way.

as pictured, i already installed my NOS Show forks.

i am still trying to locate NOS grips, NOS seat.
kinda thinking about swapping out the old metal Gyro for a anno blue Gyro GTX-R and some anno blue freestyle pedals.

very cool. i always liked the shows . they are a bit to small for me though.
they are one of the best flatland bikes imo..

i wouldnt mind riding one of those...always thought they were a killer looking bike.
short...but killer.

Killer score!!! Price was cheap! I want one!

Nice pick up and for 3 bills really nice!!

Has the knurled bottom bracket right? Cool color too. Is that stock?

yes, knurled bottom bracket.
yes, stock Frost Blue Anodized.

very kewl, im happy it "Show"ed up! hehehh, damn I love those Pacman forks I have the same ones for my Hoffman Big daddy...and that same neck... ;-)

as for grips and seat, heres a couple I think would look kewl on there, isnt the seat OG?

gt logo grips NOS
A'me super softs

gt seat

i will probably switch the post and seat to a micro-adjust.

and i'd like to find a set of GT grips pictured on my 98 GT Tour.

I never knew these existed until I saw some in here. Now I found one for $1000au and it is really nice. Too new for me though.
Killer job on your build. looks great.

holy cow, those 2 parts are like the hardest to find on the planet... lol

still looking, will post if i find any, you want them NOS?

That seats nos I think..At least I had the silver 1st gen show and it came stock with that grey gt seat..

Congrats! That thing looks clean enough to eat off of!!!!

Hey Trilogy, what kind of tires are on your Show?

Nice score Trilogy!!!!!! Those shows are very sweet bikes, I never thought much about them till Gary (Ironhide) let me take his for a spin. VERY solid, sweet rides for sure.,

They look like 'acs trues' a fatter 90's version of RL edges...Came on Gt shows too

I have a 98 dyno slammer team in my basement. I did not know there is such a following for the last US made GT/Dynos

ya true GT's, begining till sellout, and it crosses into MTB for me as well...hmm, heres a fastball for anyone, Did GT make a Ten Speed?

and if they did, who wants to sell me one, as Im dying here.... ;-)

Great score there!
I've always wanted to try riding one of those.. they look pretty userfriendly

Geometry looks great... I love the blue & Chrome theme. and the ACS true tires.

That is an awesome score! One of the most iconic flatland bikes ever made.

ACS True 100psi

a few new goodies for it.

very last blue anno GTX-R Albe's had in stock.

picking up a 98 probably next weekend.
guy i am buying it off of is a super nice guy.

just needs some lovin !

Holy smoke those cranks and stem are beefy!

Same here....they're starting to grow on me.

Get a dremel and some Mothers polish and do the crank arms.
They will look like they are chrome plated.

I loved the shows. One of my favorite flatland rides. The Master is my all time favorite ride. The Show would be about #3. My Quamen is #2. Awesome bike though.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TRILOGY,
Should you decide to not keep that one in your stable, please keep me in mind.
Jay

well, picked her up last night.

bars and forks will get an O/A bath and the frame, cranks and stem will get a FULL polishing.

it will get completely new brakes (cables, levers and 990s) and a new red annodized Gyro GTX-R and some new rim hoops.






and i picked up a bunch of these last week too.

ACS True 100 white/gumwalls

i wish they were black/gumwall so i could use them on this resto.

How's this for ya glen ?
stripped the clear anno and sanded with a few different grits and hand polished with Mother aluminum polish.
plus i added a NOS GT Show chainwheel.

working on the frame now.



and here is the stem polished.

Now your is starting to look like mine.


Good job... Keep up the great work!

that looks dope !

Good job I hope you were happy with the results.
I have a pair of those cranks, I havent done the other arm yet though.
Do you know where I can get a spindle and BB for the arms?

Starting to look nice!

I am digging the polished cranks and stem. Nice job.

Here is my '98 Tour. Not much ride time at all on this one. Not the best picture either.

sweet ride chep !
had 2 of those myself. i still have one of them.
if you ever wanna sell it pm me.

I'm sorry but the OP's bike looks like a TANK! Seems like an overbuilt 36 lb bike to me, and heavy bikes suck for flatland freestyle! I only have to compare my 35 lb bmx bike to my 25 to 27 lb freestyle modded Hutch Pro!

OP's ?

Original Poster.

GT Show's are aluminum....they are NOT tanks..ive ridden one and they handle AWESOME.

Thanks man !

yes, aluminum frame, aluminum cranks, aluminum stem.

now a 2-hip Pork.....that's a tank. (the chromo version)
"But" still a kicka@@ bike !

If the OP can tell me how much his bike weighs, then maybe I'll reconsider!

I've always wanted a GT in my bike collection, and an 86 to 89 World Tour GT Performer would be nice, but I remember as a kid when I tried to bunnyhop a GT it would "kick me over," - like somehow it had some weird bad geometry for me. So I settled and bought an 08 GT Performer, modded with an Olive seat post and 09 GT logo'd seat for $269 before tax! - I'm lovin it but it's a 35 lb TANK! - ANd I gotta mod it to be lighter!

I have 9 bmx bikes, 80's vintage to an 08 GT. And as the years progress the thickness of the rear plate dropout has become so MASSIVE! My 06 Haro Sport remake is so THICK AND OVERBUILT! But I've lovin' it's geometry compared to my 87 Haro Master!

This here GT Show weighs in at just under 28 pounds. And if I wanted to really be a weight weenie, I could shed some pounds off it. If you come to Rockford this year, I'll let you ride this tank.

NIce.

Ironhide,
where can i get some of those retro decals ?

i had seen that show awhile back and wondered who the lucky owner was. it is just beautiful !

I'm loving that yellow GT Show. I want one now.

I designed the decals myself and a first class member here printed them for me. I've been kicking around the idea of redoing them. Improving them. PM me.

This yellow Show. It's the bike I want to be buried with when I die.

sent you a pm.

i have one too! i have the green gold dust one... the last color they came out with

and i also have countless other gt's from the midschool

Trilogy...I posted some items in the for sale section. The GT grips you were once looking for for the show I have listed...new never used.....PM sent
