Bottom line

There is no doubt that the Pro Performer is a beautiful machine, available in an impressive array of 1980’s throwback designs and colors. Some have said that it is a case of form over function, but they are in the minority. These bikes are simple and strong, with CNC’ed stems and superlaced hubs. The ride quality is reportedly fast, smooth and fun. If you are a big kid who wants to ride fast and look good doing it, this may be the rig for you.
