the 97 ones were Alloy. Does that bike have a quill stem?

If that bike has a quill stem TR, it has to be earlier... In my mind I tried to make it a freestyle bike so that it might have run alongside but it's a race bike? I like it though  :daumenhoch:

the torkers released in 97 had 1" threaded forks
all except for the top of the line alloy one

there was a few models in the cheap category.

i remember seeing a torker ad in an old Ride US magazine, circa 1999 / 2000.
think it was an "epidemic" or something. flat black colour with yellow stickers.
and a nice beefy twin top tube.

looked not too bad. will see if i can dig out the mag.

That would be a nice mid to new school bike, something different but strangely the same  :daumenhoch:

In fact the more I look at the more I like it, would be great in Chrome or polished alloy  :daumenhoch:
