Very nice Chris

I had to document it Dave!

I was rushing around like a mad thing yesterday and I had to forego my usual photo spot as it was pi55ing down with rain

Nice build that. I like the stem, and the cranks.

WOW, that is stunning Chris.

I've been looking at the Torker museum section lately, and drooling.

Thanks Dan

I've pulled my finger out recently to get a few builds finished. REALLY enjoying BMX at the moment

Well spotted John, the stem was actually for another build but the shaft is too long - even with the mini stiffener, but all things happen for a reason as it suits the Torker perfectly
