Scrummy that is, i'm not the biggest Freestyle bike fan in the world but i have to admit that looks the dogs danglies that does.

I think you will have done Dom proud in that build mate. :4_17_5:
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

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 >:D

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

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 ;D

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 :shocked: 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 :uglystupid2:
