Looks great - I really like Torker's
Never realised that they made that model as late as 86 !?
Anyone know what the timeline was?

Lovely bike that, good job. What bars are they?

I used to see loads of Torkers BITD but sadly none were mine.

The kids round the corner rode for Alan Woods, so they got Torkers then Robinsons - or it might have been the other way around. Anyhoo, one of them apparently works in my building, so I might drop him a mail and see if he's still got any.

Nice bike mate but I'm 99% sure they didn't make the 280X in 86....

Yes, it's a great looking bike, I'm sure it's a Pro X...

One was for sale on ebay a few weeks back but the seller pulled the auction... I really wanted that you Tosser

It came from Julian Hammond. When i got it it was straight from the shop old stock and had different 280X stickers on it. I changed them for the earlier ones cos i prefer them. I should have kept them or took a photo i guess. The geometry it totally different from the Pro-X.

The only thing that remains from the original bike is the seat and cranks but it came with copy 890's with tech 3 levers, copy 1.75 comp IIIs, copy Gaphite X pedals and weinman rims all black and chrome. The parts point to mid 80's and julian knew his Torkers but if you can prove him wrong Andy i'd gladly take it on board.
