Post by: Bananaman on August 18, 2006, 09:53 AM

Arrived this morning, apparently the wheels are in a seperate package :knuppel2: we'll see if they turn up!!!. Some scrubbing and polishing to do but she don't look to shabby on first impression :daumenhoch:

Anyone any idea what the stem is please guys :daumenhoch:

Could still be a Torker even without markings, but I think I'd put my money on a copy  - top score though ;)

Looking at the quality of the parts, the stem is unlikely to be generic,IS it??

nice project you got there!!

and judging by the condition of the some of the packages i get from royal mail, i think mine are dropped from the sky too.
in fact they dont have a van, they fly over in an old plane and kick the parcels out the back.

Nice score dude - some sweet parts on that baby!

I reckon the stem is a Torker (or a Torker copy), definately not an MCS as the bolts should be at the front.

Can't wait to see it restored.

Yeah the fun starts, don't like the chainring that has to go!!! just started strippin her down and the bolts look like they have never been out, red grease and all sorts, the drive arm came off pretty easy :knuppel2:

I recon the stem is genuine, its really well finished off  :daumenhoch:

Andy about for his knowledge, funmonster you out!!!!!
