Torker 280 and Gen 1 update 20/11/12
« on: November 05, 2012, 09:15 PM »
Hi All,

I've changed a few parts on my Torker, here are the before and after pics......

I have again changed the Bars to Vector Freestyler's - so if anyone is interested the early GT Pro bars and Torker 6 Bolt Stem will be for sale (pics going up this week)  :daumenhoch:
i will be puting a front brake on when i get one ;D


I have change the following:-
Grips to Oakleys
Stem to 6 Bolt Torker
Chainwheel to Tufneck
Wheels to Gen 2 Graphites
Pedals to NOS Cycle Pro
Chain to Gold Izumi







And here's a pic next to my Gen 1 Haro






Thanks for looking  :daumenhoch:

Sweet Mick!

Looks much better with the black tuffs. Nice grip choice too.

Very cool.

Tuff Version for me :daumenhoch:
I always thought that Torker stems were slanted not curved or is it just the photo? Not having a dig at the stem just curious.
