Title: Torker ID
Post by: monkian on September 08, 2018, 01:15 PM

Can anyone help me out with the year on this? Not my thing. I'm not even sure if it's a Torker tbh

Hi Paul,the forks aren't  OG  80''s Torker (could be 90's) but the frame looks legit from what i can see.The serial number on the frame is either on the inside right dropout or the bottom of  the BB if older.If you send me the SN I can workout the year & model for you.

Cheers,Mike  :daumenhoch:

Thanks lads, I appreciate your help. It was the forks that threw me as well. Unfortunately I don't have access to it so can't check the SN. Looking around online, I'm thinking maybe 82 for the frame but like Mike said maybe 90's forks :/

Those gussets were used from 78'' til  83' when it switched to the slotted design so this could be earlier Paul depending on the SN.

The forks look to have the 90's Torker T logo stamped on the drops from when SBS bought the rights.

Definitely a Torker it's even got the crack in the gusset.
