Title: Torker .... still not right
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on October 29, 2006, 01:12 PM

Still cant get this build done to my satisfaction... I have a black seatpost planned and wanted to get the Hutch 2 in 1 gold plated. Do you think i should powder the Haro bars Yellow?

Agreed... perhaps some black pedals but I'm not sure.

looks fantastic. Leave the bars as they are.

Hi Andy

It looks very good and the bars look great in black.

Personally I'd cut down the rear cable as it looks a little long, have a black seat post clamp, raise the same post a few inches and tilt down the seat so it's flat (and maybe try a black seat).

Very nice Torker.

It looks good but I think a Black Seat and Black Seatpost Clamp would immprove the overall look.

WoW Andy . . . that looks awesome . . . especially with those CF's  :4_17_5:

I'd be tempted to use a black seat, grips and seat clamp to balance things out . . . perhaps black pads too

LMK when you get bored with those wheels  ;)

That looks better every time I look at it!  I've got a nice black Torker frame pad....

Very nice, but I would have gone for a black seat clamp.

Looks lovely - I'd go for black seat, black clamp and chrome crank arms...

I would leave the bars they look great, but I also think a black seat would look better.
Really like that   :daumenhoch:

Top build mate. Looks killer.
I would have gone with a black seat though. And maybe swap the brake cables around up front. never mind.... It looks fine.  :daumenhoch:
