Finally Finished My 1979, Torker L.P. Build. . .I Love This Bike

Been busy. . .
I put an MCS stem, Redline Proline V-Bars, Araya 7b/7C rim combo (rebuilt the wheels, which had re-anodized 7bs previously), Oakley II grips and Haro Handle on it, to finally complete my 1979, red, Torker L.P. build. Nearly everything on it is in used/survivor condition, just the way I like it. Then to cap it off, I built this number plate. It's meant to be a replica of the one in the early Factory Plates ad. I made my best guess as to the colors. I think it looks killer on this bike. Now, to find a red, Torker, double-clamp stem pad to complete the 1979 look.
I also built most of these over the weekend while also weeding stickers for about 12 hours. What a pain in the neck. . .literally.
