Torker question

[toooldforthis]

whats the difference between torkers with round gussets and the oval shaped gussets?

seen one on the bay, seems cheap, twin top tubes, with a round gusset, like a goose

just would like to know what it is if poss??

 

[crazycraig]

i think the one's with the round and oval gusset are the early frames

cheers Craig, it's this one, fella has stated it's a 1980, expect that's a load of old cobblers though  -

and then the film THE BUSINESS came out .

I do remember your first post, you wanted to swap the Fila tracky for a PK - Glad you got the Ripper in the end 

Now Luhta ski gear was the nuts, I had a red ski jacket that only had a zip halfway down so you had to pull it over your head, I used to love that jacket!

I reckon you've now got me into something else to spend me cash on and hide from the missus.

Sweet

Round gussets ran from 78-82 i think.. oval gussets were 83-84  . The Pro X and later 280 Air and 360s had the wedge gusset under the downtube
