Torker 280X

[In2bmx]

So this has happened 

Torker 280X to build     It's come along quite quickly as i had the the black parts for the AP that now isn't happening 
The chrome was too far gone on the AP.   Del had it powdered and is doing a Team Pro.

Kinda of a mix as the chrome is flaking on the frame and i found some OG condition Robinson bars lying around .  But the frame still has the OG bike shop sticker    . So for once i can't bring myself to re chrome it . Most of the other parts are NOS .

The yellow bars are Torker bars but i've been told they have had a repair and can't be chromed    . So i'm having them stripped to have a look.  TBH i think the Robinson bars go well with the frame.

I'm looking for some nice / mint OG A'me tri's    Anyone ?  Although the Tange are ok


Updates to follow.

This is going to look ace. Look forward to seeing the finished item. It reminds me of mine as a kid, it was the same, but with black tuffs. My current Torkers are freestyled up, but seeing your's  wip buld has got me thinking.
