Author Topic: Torker pro x 1986 as new (Read 6113 times)

Powley84 · « **on:** January 12, 2014, 01:29 PM »

I have a pro x from 1986 i believe that has been in my loft for about 20 years. It is white with gold mx1000s, tech 3 levers, torker cranks and seat, acs stem, acs z rims with comp 3s, diamond back bars, oakley grips, mks pedals and mirage torker plate. All parts were new bankrupt stock that my brother located, the bike has never been used. Anyone know what its worth?

Pics would help mate.

If you're wishing to sell it on the forum, you need to get yourself a site supporters tag, for the tiny fee of £10.

Ok thanks, this is all new to me as i never use any forums. Someone suggested that people on here might be able to give me an idea of its value as i cant find any for sale anywhere else.

Here is the best place to come, so welcome in.

Are you using a pc, tablet or phone?

I pad and i phone but having trouble adding pics as it says the file is to big. Not the best with either so might have to use my laptop later to add pics. Nobody including my brother who works for vans and is heavily involved in the skate scene has any idea on the value. I have 2 cruisers i ride so dont have the space or need for the torker really.

Get the Tapatalk app mate, then you can add pics straight to this or any thread from your device. Or you'll have to use photobucket and copy and paste the image code.

that is very nice mate

what are the cranks?

Powley84 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 12, 2014, 05:34 PM »

I dont know the exact type as i am no torker expert, all i can tell you is the chain wheel is black with a chrome 5 spoke centre. The cranks are chrome with torker written in black.

Any pictures of the gusset ? Close up ? The frame looks to have been powdered .is it powder or paint ?

Powley84 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 14, 2014, 09:08 AM »

The frame came new from a shop that went out of business, it is as I bought it not powdered .

That thing is incredible

It's in amazing condition and lovely parts too

don't rush into selling it mate...make sure you get it's true value

As always sadly you may be better parting it out?.....but in this case who knows......it's reet lovely

Powley84 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 14, 2014, 09:25 AM »

Thanks, it really is what it is. I didn't pay peanuts for it nearly 20 years ago and I know it is a quite rare bike. I can't really keep it though, have 2 cruisers and a mtb plus 3 cars. Just to much stuff.
