The cranks are modern so if you want old skool i'd loose them. You could always put an os powerdisc and keep the profile arms to save on the cost. The forks are not the ones that came on that frame. i was trying to work them out, look MCSish? but might be mid school.

And get some old skool decals, i think Alans still stocks a couple of Torker variant sticker sets.  :daumenhoch:

I want it as old school as possible, to get it like Bob Haro's one that he used to ride before he made the (ssscchh whisper it cos dave might be about) gen1, this is the earliest bike I've bought and want to make it special.

and yes Rich they are tange forks, well spotted!  :daumenhoch:
