Im not sure how many of you clocked this one at Mk a Factory spec 83 Torker 280,Snav had it up for sale and in the end I buckled and bought it,ive always loved the Torker,my best mate BITD had a 280 identical to this one so I just had to have it.We did a week long swap in 86,my Robbo pro for his Torker,i was gutted when the week was up!! the beauty of this one is that its unmolested since it left Alans in im guessing 1984 as its a November 83 frameset,the only non factory parts are the grips,to my knowledge these came with ame tris.if anybody has a set of black bubble fonts let me know please,and a padset too.the chrome is beautiful,its a 9.5/10 all day long and id say 50% of the parts would clean up to make a show bike,im going to give it a quick spruce up and its good to go as my new rider,anyway I will let the crap pics say the rest

oh and a big thanks to Snav for a great deal
