Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on June 14, 2007, 05:09 PM: Not all Torker six bolt stems were stamped... Some early square back stems came with a small rectangular foil decal for the owner to apply. The later Ultra six bolt had a more curved profile and was copied heavily by odyssey and other companies. The top plate on most of the Ultra Six were stamped. If i remember right, i think stem shafts on genuine Torker stems are black or dark coloured.
I hope this info helps ;)
Bang a picture up...it will help a lot in identifying it :daumenhoch:

I thought it might be an MRD although it does have the look of a Maximum about it :daumenhoch:
