There are some really clever people on this site who could repair the seat tube and extend the bars back to their original size. Those 280X bikes are really nice so it's worth doing IMO. :daumenhoch:

Everything he said ^^^^ definitely worth investing in getting them repaired and if a rechrome is too much, maybe a candy powder coat finish as they came in colours bitd :daumenhoch:

I think the Torker 280/280X (apart from the top tube length how can you tell the difference?) only came in chrome with the LP/LPX in white :daumenhoch:

Nice find, looks in good nick, apart from the obvious, only in St. Helens :LolLolLolLol:
Not sure of the difference between the 280 and 280X, I think one of them had a hole in the gusset, and one had a slot.
I know the Pro-X had no gusset, and a longer top tube.
Top frame either way.
