1983 Torker 280X
« on: January 17, 2018, 01:32 PM »
I really wanted another twin top tube in my life, having sold all the others I have had over the years, and decided to get a Torker 280X with the longer 19" top tube.

The chrome is not the best, but it is original and all the stickers are era, so I will not be getting anything repaired or rechromed on it, just build it and ride it.

The round ones were prone to cracking so they switched.

Seems like it was mid way though 1983 Rob as mine and Terry's are of the same year.

You may have a long wait Mick as I think Terry and RAD have parted company.

It's probably suiting him in all fairness as he was hinting that he was thinking of getting rid of his profile and also mentioned that the forum and the way it was run wasn't really to his liking.
