Working on my Torker yesterday added a nice set of green Mx 900's. The bike was found in a dilapidated shed about ten years ago and built up with cheap low grade 90's parts. Another long-term project 97% finished
Tuffs,Haro tyres and brakes were my last three big purchases, the Pro neck stem as at the coaters and will be fitted very soon. Pro Neck. Now fitted, plus just upgraded the chain wheel and chain wheel bolts today. Sharp grip set up next.

That is quality, a nice twist on a classic Torker frame. This is what the 80s was about, mixing it up with the parts you had.
Great build. :coolsmiley:

Nice to see you doing your take on it. I love the classic Torker look, but as Dan said, this is exactly how we would have done it in the 80s :)

cheers gents, I rode a Torker in the 1980's and it was originally - chrome frame ,black tuffs, black comp threes with red accessories , but as I got into freestyle the bike slowly changed, pots mod, pegs, grip tape, coaster tuffs and lots of coloured parts. I still have the Frame and forks ( now white) and few remaining parts . Here's I pic of my Original Torker with its now upgraded green bro in the summer, the only change on the original White Torker since this pic is I have upgraded the 901's to lavender radberry Mx 900's.

Looks great :daumenhoch:
Only thing I'm not keen on is the placement of the stem pad/cable routing - if you're gonna run freestyle bars seems counter-intuitive to run the cable like that so you'd never be able to use them?
