That minty Torker labelled seat has got to be worth a pretty penny on its own.... Very nice

Powley84 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 14, 2014, 07:30 PM »

Somebody already asked me to sell it . Somebody else said its worth about 100 quid. It is a great bike but I have a haro blackout 24 that I ride so will never ride this.

Bloomin eck, i've got a nice one on my rider. The Torker lettering is faded but a new sticker would sort that out.

Serial number is 11840832 p I think, hard to read with the wheel on.

i have a faded one on my pro x

Powley84 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 14, 2014, 09:59 PM »

Looking at the frame number the p means it is a pro x so 1184 mean november 1984?

Wez · « **Reply #38 on:** January 14, 2014, 10:20 PM »

any torker pre october 1984 would start with taa**** * , any after would be number like this and made in Taiwan, my Torker Magnum has the same number layout as this ProX

Mate you are probably better parting it out...potentially minimum return is £100+ for the brakes, £100+ for the Z rims and I'm guessing a minimum of £200.00 for the frame & forks if they are totally original .... Then there's the pedals, seat, grips all worth a fair bit too.....

Anyone agree/disagree ?
Just putting my opinion out there based on what I've seen lately ?

crazycraig · « **Reply #40 on:** January 14, 2014, 10:38 PM »

I'd say more £500 on the frame and forks . It is original and NOS . Radman got £750 for his re chromed one

I'm not surprised at those figures mate...like it you say in that condition the words rockin horse doo doo and hen's teeth spring to mind

Cheers but i wont be splitting it, i will sell it as it is or put it back in my loft. Just thought i would see what its worth now and if i get a decent offer it can go.

Wez · « **Reply #43 on:** January 14, 2014, 11:10 PM »

keep it ..

Jaan · « **Reply #44 on:** January 16, 2014, 01:41 PM »

I enquired over the seat, as I would love to put it on a Pro X of mine. Its a lovely seat. My offer would have been over £100. I also suggest splitting to maximise return as I assumed that the reason for this thread was advice on selling the Pro X. Completes are so subjective its unlikely you'll build to someone else's wish list, but I admire your resolve and the fact that you'll keep it if no one wants it the way you put it together 20 years ago.

Craigs valuation of the frame set is bob on IMO.

Powley84 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 16, 2014, 02:43 PM »

Cheers, I am in no rush to sell it so it can just sit in my spare room until I get a good offer.

Decided to put the bike on EBay so see what happens. Cheers for everybody's advice.
