Lock and load. Green and purple and maybe another color came in 1985 as far as I can remember, because I'm pretty sure 1985 was when I got my green Performer that I really want back, dag nab it! I told my story a week or so ago on this forum, so anyone who wants a good laugh should check it out.
I was never a good freestyler, but I was all about being a poseur so I was always keen to what was hip in freestyle bikes. By 1987, when I traded away my Perfomer, I didn't really pay much attention to what the new items were. Now 19 years later, My 20th HS reunion is next spring, I'm checking out the net for vintage rides. The sort of aqua colored and Vertigo Performers I don't remember from back in the day. They must have come in 87 or 88. I saw Fiola in either 85 or 86, and I'm trying really hard to remember what color his ride(s) were, but I can't. I remember the bike store west of Denver where he rode, but no specifics. I got his autograph somewhere, but it's probably lost. As best as I can remember, the plainer colored Gt's were most popular. I remember a lot of chrome and white frames, A few yellows as well. Didn't Haro have a green frame sometime in 1985-1987? I seem to think that a new model was introduced at the time.
Any and all reply to my posts about the 80's. Everyone I knew from the old days is now either useless, gone from my life, or a fruit!
