I have a pro x from 1986 i believe that has been in my loft for about 20 years. It is white with gold mx1000s, tech 3 levers, torker cranks and seat, acs stem, acs z rims with comp 3s, diamond back bars, oakley grips, mks pedals and mirage torker plate. All parts were new bankrupt stock that my brother located, the bike has never been used. Anyone know what its worth?

Pics would help mate. 8)
If you're wishing to sell it on the forum, you need to get yourself a site supporters tag, for the tiny fee of £10. :daumenhoch:

Ok thanks, this is all new to me as i never use any forums. Someone suggested that people on here might be able to give me an idea of its value as i cant find any for sale anywhere else.

Here is the best place to come, so welcome in.
Are you using a pc, tablet or phone? ???

I pad and i phone but having trouble adding pics as it says the file is to big. Not the best with either so might have to use my laptop later to add pics. Nobody including my brother who works for vans and is heavily involved in the skate scene has any idea on the value. I have 2 cruisers i ride so dont have the space or need for the torker really.

Get the Tapatalk app mate, then you can add pics straight to this or any thread from your device. Or you'll have to use photobucket and copy and paste the image code. :daumenhoch:

I dont know the exact type as i am no torker expert, all i can tell you is the chain wheel is black with a chrome 5 spoke centre. The cranks are chrome with torker written in black.

That thing is incredible :smitten:
It's in amazing condition and lovely parts too "wantit"
don't rush into selling it mate...make sure you get it's true value :4_17_5:
As always sadly you may be better parting it out?.....but in this case who knows......it's reet lovely :coolsmiley:
-
Thanks, it really is what it is. I didn't pay peanuts for it nearly 20 years ago and I know it is a quite rare bike. I can't really keep it though, have 2 cruisers and a mtb plus 3 cars. Just to much stuff.

That minty Torker labelled seat has got to be worth a pretty penny on its own.... Very nice :)
-
Somebody already asked me to sell it . Somebody else said its worth about 100 quid. It is a great bike but I have a haro blackout 24 that I ride so will never ride this.

100 quid !!! Are they having a laugh.... :knuppel2:
-
What do you think then? How much is the complete bike worth any ideas?

It's worth £100 + and I would pay that for it
-
Yo buddy nice ride there ;) ive 5 torkers including a delicious 83 ProX (LHBoy) ;) , whats the serial number of yrs and the location of the serial ie rear dropout etc "wantit" :smitten:

I was talking about the seat btw

:shocked:
Bloomin eck, i've got a nice one on my rider. The Torker lettering is faded but a new sticker would sort that out.
-
Serial number is 11840832 p I think, hard to read with the wheel on.

i have a faded one on my pro x
-
Looking at the frame number the p means it is a pro x so 1184 mean november 1984?
-
any torker pre october 1984 would start with taa**** * , any after would be number like this and made in Taiwan, my Torker Magnum has the same number layout as this ProX
-
Mate you are probably better parting it out...potentially minimum return is £100+ for the brakes, £100+ for the Z rims and I'm guessing a minimum of £200.00 for the frame & forks if they are totally original .... Then there's the pedals, seat, grips all worth a fair bit too.....
Anyone agree/disagree ?
Just putting my opinion out there based on what I've seen lately ?
-
I'd say more £500 on the frame and forks . It is original and NOS . Radman got £750 for his re chromed one

I'm not surprised at those figures mate...like it you say in that condition the words rockin horse doo doo and hen's teeth spring to mind :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers but i wont be splitting it, i will sell it as it is or put it back in my loft. Just thought i would see what its worth now and if i get a decent offer it can go.
-
keep it .. :daumenhoch:
-
I enquired over the seat, as I would love to put it on a Pro X of mine. Its a lovely seat. My offer would have been over £100. I also suggest splitting to maximise return as I assumed that the reason for this thread was advice on selling the Pro X. Completes are so subjective its unlikely you'll build to someone else's wish list, but I admire your resolve and the fact that you'll keep it if no one wants it the way you put it together 20 years ago. :daumenhoch:
Craigs valuation of the frame set is bob on IMO.
-
Cheers, I am in no rush to sell it so it can just sit in my spare room until I get a good offer.
