I have an 88 GT Vertigo frame and would like to know what new school parts are compatible with it. Don’t have the fork either.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out how I can open up the mounts on my rear wheel from a 3/8" axle to accept a 14mm axel I want this new KHE 9T cassette hub instead of the old skool 16T cog I got a new 3 piece crank with sealed bearings and the upgraded cups to drop the old one piece crank and ball bearing sets its turned out awesome. I want the 9T driver to fit on my old ass rolds royce union. It's totally doable. I'm about to take either a file or a grinder to the mounts and yeah my 2.35 tires just barely squeeze in my old skool frame

I had the same GT Performer when I was a kid in 1997! Pretty much same color mine was just a little darker. Had white 5 point star mags. Got it mint for only $40 at a flea market. I loved that bike!

You can mix 1 inch headset cups with 1 1/8” cones and freeball the ball bearings with no race. I’ve done it putting 1 1/8” thread less forks on a 1” 1970’s mongoose frame several times. A little tricky but works fine. Bless up fellas

I approve. You eliminated the ugliest part of the bike….the bland modern frame. I hate that they all look exactly the same. Old school BMX bikes had character. 👌🏼 I’m currently building up an ‘83 Torker 280. 🤘🏼
