As you know guys I have been looking to shoe horn a Torker into my collection for a while now and I finally located not one but two locally from friend of a friend who had owned these from brand new. The bikes were bought from Alans BMX in Hindley Wigan and have remained in a complete and totally original condition as you see them here from new, all the pads are there too and it has Oakley B2 grips, Kashimax seat Scrambler tyres and a Coaster brake, the Tuffs have never seen a brake block so just need a clean and wipe over.
The bars look like they have had a circular sticker on the inside left hand side maybe unstamped GT ? Need your expert eye over these to be sure fella's, the seat post also bear an ex circular sticker area so once again if you have any idea shout up.
The frame and drop outs are mint and the restoration is pretty simple with cleaning and sympathetically restoring the bike back to its former glory without changing a single part 8) Yes the head set and BB bearings will be replaced if required and the remainder fully packed, serviced and blingerooned but no polishing up of alloy parts...
I hope you like :4_17_5:

The Tuff 2's have a serial number that looks to be small white number sequence, no idea what it means like... :LolLolLolLol:
The Decals are also original according to the owner so they have to be retained.
