Title: Torker 280
Post by: chris1971 on October 02, 2009, 10:25 PM

My Torker has been up in the loft for nearly 20 years, so I thought it was time to give it a new lease of life.  The bike has all the original parts except for 2 new tyres, pedals , chain and NOS Ame  grips. Hope the pictures come out. Even the decals are still on the araya wheels.

The chainring would look much better on the outside/front of the power disc. :daumenhoch:

New to all this. Need some advice please, Does it matter which way the chain ring is on the power disc, as that was the way it was put on the bike,some 20 odd years ago.

Good job done  :daumenhoch: , another brought back to life & the fact it was yours is x10 better  ;) .

The chainring - spider/disc thing , bitd it was best either way the chain was best aligned  ;)

Thanks for comments, got the buzz again, shame there's only one BMX track in the whole of Wales.
