i will be puting a front brake on when i get one ;D

I have change the following:-
Grips to Oakleys
Stem to 6 Bolt Torker
Chainwheel to Tufneck
Wheels to Gen 2 Graphites
Pedals to NOS Cycle Pro
Chain to Gold Izumi

Sweet Mick!

Looks much better with the black tuffs. Nice grip choice too.

Very cool.

Tuff Version for me :daumenhoch:
I always thought that Torker stems were slanted not curved or is it just the photo? Not having a dig at the stem just curious.

Change the Torker back before anyone notices Mick ;)


My honest opinion is that the Torker is now looking a bit confusing.

is it race or freestyle? is it a Torker or a Haro?         i think it's very much the latter on both counts at the mo.

you may as well go the 'full hog'... Put a front brake on, change the tyres for some slicks and put the old girl out of her misery.
