My only comment would be that the angle of the seat is too nose down.

Post by: dannywhiteley on May 08, 2009, 04:35 PM: Lovely that, I do love a nice Cali. Proper 80's...

My only comment would be to strip the red anno off the seat post, or swap it for a chrome one to match the bars.

I'm doing my Torker on a shoestring budget - it must cost loads to use all NOS gear. Still it looks worth it.
