Apologies in advance for 'outing' this eBay auction but I always assumed all Torker serials began with the letter T. The f+f looks right enough but the serial no. is troubling me. The welds look a bit sloppy on the headtube gusset, too :-\ :-\
What do you y'all reckon???

Looks like a 280 or 280X - deffo not a pro-x.
If I haven't already had lots of these I'd have a go!
-
It looks right so why doesn't the serial start with a T. (I'm probably wrong here but...) I thought all Torker-built bikes did. It couldn't be something knocked out at a later date by Torker2, could it? That might explain those awful decals :LolLolLolLol:
-
Nah it looks right to me.
Don't remember my serial numbers, but it could be he just read it wrong, or it's not stamped very well.
-
looks like a 280X for sure
...thanks for outing it BTW ! :knuppel2: ;)

Updated how to tell which model Torker(83-85):
Torker 280: 18 inch toptube.... Flat plate or round tube rear brake mount
Torker 280X: 19 inch toptube.... Round tube rear brake mount
Torker Pro X: 20 inch toptube.... Gusset placed under downtube(like the Haro Gen 1)
:daumenhoch:

brake mount is indisinguishable in pics, so could be either a 280 or 280X....

Did anyone on here win the Torker? ???
I got emailed by the seller and was told that the toptube length was 18 inches and the brake mount was tubular. Could be a 280 with a round brake mount. The bars are Torker Pro T bars. Nice buy anyways :daumenhoch:
-

-
I went and viewed the frame .I bid £101 because the fork were bent like a bannana .The rest of the frame and bars are all ok :daumenhoch:
-
Just measured my Pro-x and it's 20 inches, I belive this was funmonster's old one :daumenhoch:
-
This is getting mad :D Wow 20 inches ??? is that centre to centre ???
If it is factory white powder then it could be my old one :daumenhoch:
-
It was white, at the moment it's raw am going to treat it to the SBD treatment(white). It had about 4 layers 1 was yellow, When I got it, it had odd fork stickers. Once it's powdered I will sell it???

Did anyone see the Magnum 200 that finished on ebay today for £200?
Serial number puzzled me, so I didn't go ahead. It didn't have a T at the start so I got nervous. I've since discovered that this probably means it was an asian bike - does this sound true?
What was different about the Mangum anyway? I've got a 280X and it looked very similar. In the pricelists I saw in another post, it was shown as a much cheaper bike new than the 280X????
-
Yeah it finished today reserve not met .He wants £350 for it .Bit steep i think :-\
-
I believe the Magnum was the cheaper bike offered by Torker - wasn't full chromo either.
