Yeah, beautiful Torker, but in my opinion it would look better without those cranks :daumenhoch:

Lovely that. Corker of a Torker. I just got a set of mint pads in the post today for mine so the jealousy of yours is dampened, but not much. Nice cranks.  What bars did you find? Can't find Torker bleeding bars anywhere.

The bars were £15 shipped :D pm me if you want to know where to get some ;)
 They are not Torker but are almost identical in size and sweep. 28 inch wide, 8 inch rise. I just added a period vinyl decal. They will be swapped out as soon as i find some Torker Pro T bars... The stem will be swapped out too for a black or Gold Pro neck/Tuf neck.

If you want a real scrote snatcher of a seat, I stupidly bid on two yellow hammerhead Unis and won both so I have a spare. You can have it on the cheap as I don't think there's much call for yellow Unis other than from Torker fiends.

Nice one m8... i certainly would be interested in a UNI hammerhead :daumenhoch:
PM me a price ;)
