Author Topic: MINI TORKER FINISHED AT LONG LAST (Read 11476 times)

AKGOFF · « **on:** May 08, 2012, 05:48 PM »

Finally got the last piece of the jigsaw from the US on Saturday so Steve could finish this bike today and needless to say he has done wonders again, he had some issues with the Bullseye BB I gave him so we had to source another one which then needed filing down a bit but like I say, he has done a top flight job yet again so Thankyou Steve.
When I bought this frameset off Steve the mini man, the downtube was a cut and shut and look cack so I got a friend to replace the whole tube and you would never know, perfect job.

80 / 81 Torker Mini Frameset powdered by who else but SBD
Decals by Del, slightly later decals than the frame but I wanted red in them.
NOS MCS Mini Bars
NOS AME Mini Dual grips, another amazing deal from Gaz Poolysheriff
NOS DC Tech 3
NOS DC Cable dated 80
NOS DC 730
Scott Mathauser Pads
Mini Pro Neck
NOS Mini UNI Seat
155mm Bullseye 2nd Gen Cranks with Bullseye spider
40 Tooth Pro Neck Chainring
OG Hutch Mini pedals with OG cages
Shimano SF30 Freewheel
Izumi Chain
NOS Araya 20 x 1 3/8 Rims
NOS Bullseye Hubs
NOS Blue / Yellow label Comp lll Tyres

Hope you like it.

Adam

Thanks chaps and yes Gaz, the cranks are fookin beautiful, never seen another set that short. I bought them from a guy in Germany about two years ago and have been waiting for a build for them ever since.

Turned out very nice

I do like building the little ones.

I've had to put Adam on a two week ban so i can get a few things done for myself,
but on the positive side, it will give him time to get all the bits together as he always forgets something (and my small parts selection is getting a bit light

)

Two week ban,

sound like my Dad.

Thanks again Steve and you had better hurry up with that stupid new build of yours as I have at least two more waiting.
Just kidding mate, your new bike is shaping up to be another beauty.
