Title: ** TORKER ADVICE **
Post by: haro-os-boy on February 25, 2007, 03:55 PM: Bought this lastnite on evilbay.. was described as:

TORKER 280 X FREESTYLE EARLY 90S - FRAME, FORK, HANDLEBARS, & SEATPOST - FRAME, FORK, & BARS HAVE BEEN BEADBLASTED - ALL IN GOOD CONDITION, NO CRACKS, REWELDS, OR BENDS.

Is this right? Any info greatly appreciated :daumenhoch:

Not that I'm too worried at £75.00 shipped ;) Have a bit of thing for twin top tubes & just liked the look of it!

I'm pretty sure it's a 280^o Air. They did a couple of others as well inc 360^o Air or something like that :-\
