Like it mate.

My friend is building a white Master with blue tuffs.

How can you tell what Gen it is?

:4_17_5:The 2nd generation 84 Master was also made by Torker in the US and had several distinguishing features from the 1st generation ‘84 Master. From the seatmast forward the bike is identical to a 1st generation Master. From the seatmast back it is completely different. The differences are the seatstays and chainstays taper toward the rear dropouts. The coasterbrake tab has been relocated to the top of the chainstay and the rear dropouts are flared at the bottom to reduce flexing. The serial number format for this bike is as follows: T which stood for Torker, the month of production, the year ‘84, followed by the four digit production sequence, and letter M which stood for Master. The serial number is located on the inside of the right rear dropout.

The 3rd generation ‘84 Master is often referred to as an overseas ‘84 Master. This bike is similar to the 2nd generation ‘84 Master except the seatmast is about ½ inch taller and there are “chevrons” stamped in the headtube gusset. The serial number format for this bike is as follows: the year ‘84, month of production, followed by the four digit production sequence. The serial number is located underneath the bottom bracket. The coasterbrake tab was also beefed up on this model as well. These bikes were offered in a Chrome or white finish. In ’84 the Master bike retailed for $325!

Superb build fella, arguably the best frame ever made

Then I would say that, mine looks very similar, the best colour scheme

sweetbeats · « **Reply #36 on:** October 20, 2008, 07:50 PM »

Cheers Fella...

Tried to be a bit more orig than a factory copy

antiquebmx · « **Reply #43 on:** October 21, 2008, 07:11 AM »

nice build there! do like blue tuffs, with the white frame.

sweetbeats · « **Reply #44 on:** October 21, 2008, 07:17 AM »

Cheers AntiqueBMX...I thought they would look rubbish but they have grown on me to be honest and in natural light really are a great colour the indoor pics don't do them justice...my girlfriend says they are the best wheels she has ever seen so hey she knows best

antiquebmx · « **Reply #45 on:** October 21, 2008, 07:24 AM »

yeah post some pics out in the sun

sweetbeats · « **Reply #46 on:** October 21, 2008, 07:32 AM »

Fingers crossed we get some sun towards the end of the week

FAZE3 · « **Reply #47 on:** October 21, 2008, 04:55 PM »

Yeah like I said fella love the master

I had a gen 2 back in the day, for about a week then it broke

So by the time my replacement arrived I got a GEN 3

Anyways thats what I rode for the next three years, absolutely for me the definitive 80's BMX. You can see mine on the Credit crunch post in the freestyle section

Can't believe I actually thought about selling it for a few days last week

sweetbeats · « **Reply #48 on:** October 21, 2008, 05:47 PM »

Cool comments cheers Faze three...it does look very retro and almost era specific tried to make it look like some spoilt kids haro bike that my parents could not afford to buy BITD..had some cool bikes but would have loved this in 84.

FAZE3 · « **Reply #49 on:** October 21, 2008, 07:37 PM »

When I think back to what the Master cost in 84

Me ma was paying it off on her credit card for years

I've paid her back now mind..............................................................................she loves her Hutch Trickstar
