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

 :shocked:

Bloomin eck, i've got a nice one on my rider. The Torker lettering is faded but a new sticker would sort that out.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

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 ?

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

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.  :daumenhoch:

Craigs valuation of the frame set is bob on IMO.

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