Post by: diesel on September 07, 2006, 09:24 AM

Think its junk, but it didn't cost too much: Serial Number on rear dropout = T412CC323

I think the frame is a Torker made???? T in the serial, nice welds and machined headtube, knurling on drops, too much attention to detail to be a P.O.S?
Forks look a little shady though
 :) DINGO :)

The frame does look nicely welded, but I don't think it's a Torker. I've seen a few nicely made/welded Haro clones and I suspect that's what it is. If that is a tange headset, that's a nice little bonus (it's possible that it's not tange, but you'll be able to tell by the quality). :daumenhoch:
