Its a real shame Dom ( Phyppsio) doesn't post on RAD anymore as he may have a bit more info on this topic.

Wasn't someone talking to Bob Haro on facebook the other week?
See what the man himself says.

Baz you could post some pics on ere for all to see and judge for themselves, under the front gusset for example...

Serial number, i'd be very wary of one of these without one.. $:-\$

Ok,Baz,didn't know the frame belonged to anyone on here and wanted to stop people buying what i believe 100% is a early 80's copy frame which i have come across before,so just here to help both sides,i'm not on here for a slagging match.
Up till now every Gen 1 that has been found has a serial no.
Every Gen 1 found has had the same dimensions as per the original drawings done by Bob Haro.
There is a few pics i've seen over the years with minor differences,Bobs original frame seems to have no knurling on the rear dropouts and the early gen 1's aren't welded under the front gusset.Other than that the dimensions are all the same......yours is different,have a close look at the drawing,i just find it hard to believe Torker made any of these frames totally different to the drawings.
If you wanna post some pics of yours ,i would love to see it up close,and if you can prove me wrong ,then so be it,i would love to believe there was prototype frame made by torker that didn't meet up to thre drawings,but only going from what i've learned over the past ten years collecting thse framesets.

My Gen1 that I got from surrey skateboards in 1982 did not have a serial number
does that mean it was a copy
