I've known about this bike for a while ... Or rather I heard stories about it ..

A mate of mine Jason Ramsden poped in on his friend John lee who's dad used to own / run the Chorley track ..

Sorry about the rubbish photo ..

Just look at this ...

He won't sell it though ..

Torker cruiser

Just as I'm about to post this I get another photo sent

What's this ?

fook is that a strut brace on the torker?
2nd ones a quad i reckon

profile maybe?
cool finds

Jaymz · « **Reply #2 on:** March 02, 2012, 05:34 PM »

Is the seconf one some sort of national pro, they had the brace like that

Man, they need a loving home to go to

Red thing for me please

My first thoughs were "powerlite" but their top tubes are arched. I think the national pro only had a short brace where the gusset is $:-\$

still, both look super cool though, or atleast the Torker frame does

I've got an update .. I think it's a powerlite an he said ..

"Are these any good ?? He's got a few brand new ones never used in boxes. And he had some 26 inch arayas brand new in boxes"

WTF have they done to that Torker!

Bru

My thoughts exactly

Not beyond correction though

Two cool finds but we knew about the Torker like you said Carl .

Not far from me either

......... might go shed raiding

Oooo Torker cruiser!!!! Me likey!

SaMAlex · « **Reply #12 on:** March 02, 2012, 06:23 PM »

I posted a pic of that Torker a while ago. John Lee (who used to ride BMX for raleigh) now does flat track racing. He uses that torker to cycle around on at races. My mate Geoff Cain snapped a pic of it at a race

Nice two 26"ers in the UK

don't see them too often

I'd love to have a Torker 26, I only know of one other over here

mattfx81 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:07 PM »

The red one has a hint of champion, profile and SRE.

intobmx2 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:14 PM »

The second one is a profile cruiser is it not $:-\$

AKGOFF · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:15 PM »

The red one is fookin beautiful and the Torker has just confirmed an idea I had

animal · « **Reply #18 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:18 PM »

Both fookin lush bikes

Sure the red 1 is profile

PHIPPSIO · « **Reply #19 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:20 PM »

Holy cow!! That Torker is god like

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #20 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:35 PM »

the red one's a mile off being a Profile....rear drops wrong shape and don't have a hole in and the cross brace is way too far up the top tube. still interested to find out what it is though.Just noticed,the head tube looks like it MIGHT be 5".

skki3330 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:49 PM »

Now they are good finds, i reckon you need to take him out for a drink a long drink with plenty of shots

Gashead · « **Reply #22 on:** March 02, 2012, 08:17 PM »

The second one could be a Wilson !

Max Out! · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2012, 09:04 PM »

Chorley was fab!!

I just remember the mud, the rain and that awesome start hill!!!

I think they look cool. I love how they have kept them and given them a bit of functionality.. better than rotting in a shed! The red one looks very beach cruiseresque...

Is the red one a panda. I remember a picture in very early bmxa. And panda rings a bell
