Title: 1979 Torker MX
Post by: Swivel on February 15, 2013, 09:14 AM

Recently bought from Jay, really pleased to get something so early. Not sure whether to resto or leave as survivor, will probably just show it as is at MK. Hope you like it...

Matt  ;)

Lovely Matt. I do love the round hole gusset Torkers. I have a 1980 and a 81 now so, if you ever want to part with it mate  ::)  ;D

Sweet!

Oh, and leave as is bro  :daumenhoch:

Was tempted myself with this frame, good score that. For me I'd have to build it up as is and with survivor 78/9 parts  :daumenhoch:
