Title: New TORKER 280 build start to nearly finished
Post by: Threaders on March 28, 2012, 05:30 PM

It has been a lovely day for it and have had this frame set for ages, so was nice to get a start on it today :)
Was originaly blue, but with plenty of marks and chips so picked it up from the powder coaters today.

Have some minor adjusting to do, dont want to lower the seat post too much as my last renthal post got stuck and couldnt get it out :-\. Got to sort out the chain and pedals and do the brake cables. Calipers I resprayed and decal'd them up and match perefect with the frame decals. Very pleased so far and that makes six bikes to the collection. One more and I will have one for every day of the week :) :)
