Putting this here for no other reason than there are old people here that can help.

Just had an old friend post a pic on facebook with me on what can only be described in the urban community as a "sick whip". I can't begin to remember what bike it is though. Anyone have a clue? It is the only pic and size that I have. Also check out the mop up top.

The seat mast area looks similar to a GT Pro Performer but the head tube badge doesn't appear to be GT. Stem looks similar to a GT block stem and the bars look like replica Redline Forklifter bars. Hopefully that will spark your brain and possibly help you remember but there are a few more guys on here that could possibly identify it for you.

I have a good feeling that it was a GT after reading all the BMX plus magazines back then.

Looks like a GT, but I don't see the punctured top tube at the seat post. The head badge and stickers look like a Schwinn.

Wait, you can't remember your own bike even though there is a picture of you on it? I can understand not being able to pull it out of the ether, but with a pic?

pegs were not that large in the 80's.

seat post looks like a Dyno drain pipe. bars look like redline forklifters.

GT stem too. I'd say it was an early 90's GT Performer. It's "mid school" not old school. :D

Not a Performer, the GT's downtube had a bend at the headtube for more foot/brake clearance while doing tricks. The stem is also not GT. Its that style though but the corners are too sharp.
