Very nice......love the grip tape too.

I have been playing around with the serials for a few months as I reckon the dates may be just a touch out.....more later.

Does anyone know if the TXX 442 F reciept has been posted / shown / pm'ed?

I also have contacts for another half a dozen or so Freestylers, it's getting interesting again

HiYa Jay

Glad that the computer is working again. I shall send / post some new information soon.

Can you ask for pics of the outside of both the rear drop-outs and also the coaster as I doubt i'll get much response.

You know what i'm getting at, it might be a great result.........fingers crossed.

what billy means is that they were the first freestyle specific frame and fork set, although made by torker and loosely basd around the 280 the gen 1 has beefier tubing, gussets and thicker dropouts, and of course, the coaster brake anchor point.....id still like a torker though.....now flaz, who has one that needs to live at my house?

yeah I know dave only jesting

what year did the gen1's come out, I can honestly say bitd i never saw anyone riding one but like ive said in previous posts i got mugged in the summer school holidays of 83 and never rode another bmx again till 2005 im sure if i hadnt got mugged and me mum and dad hadnt split up i would have been riding one by christmas that year (spoilt brat that i was )

and would now be bigging up the gen1s

also what is the top tube on the gen1s: cause are they based on the 280 or the longer 280X ?
