1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team Model

This is my recently completed dayglo pink '87 GT Pro Freestyle Tour build. This bike holds a strong sentimental value to me as it is the exact type of bike I rode daily during my high school years.
Frameset was purchased here from member caleb_k21. All powdercoating was done by Chip at C4 Labs and the dayglo pink is an EXACT color match to a set of NOS dayglo pink GT bars I have in my closet.
I decided not to run the Power Series cranks for fear of them stripping out on me, as this bike will be my new rider. I have ridden mostly with Redline flight cranks so that is what I decided to use on this bike.
Also, back in high school after breaking a few hollow axles on my old Superlace hubs I bought Peregrine Super Pro 48s and prefer them over the 36h wheels. With this build I used 48h high flange GT hubs powdered white and stickered to resemble Superlaces laced with stainless spokes and nipples to Araya Super 7X chrome outer Hoops.
