from what me and 'nysoul' can see its got some good bits on it,havent study it properly yet.
skyway hot seat,dia compe seat clamp on the coaster,early haro sport frame,dia compe calipers/levers.mike buff acs z rim on the front..and loads of other bits i havnt checked yet.
when i first got there i tought they were dx pedals,but there only mx's :(
its gonna stay how it is just gonna give it a service/grease-up.

classic that mate. i saw that but forgot to bid. glad someone on here has it.
i would leave that as is mate true survivor :daumenhoch:
-

£144 in total.cheap i thought
not sure what the seat clamp is...is it any good can ayone id it?? :-\
-
nice find mate
it's a buyers market!!!
should clean up real nice!
-
I was watching that and noticed it went really cheap for an '84 sport. Almost worth it for the MX1000's alone.
-
dk the clamp is
-
Yes I was on my PC at work looking at that & was going to bid, cos its well worth what you paid for it, I think the forks are from 85/86 tho, but still well worth it & I didn't bid :idiot2:
I do have one, but at that price its worth it :daumenhoch:
-

yeah 'nysoul' (matt) noticed the forks were different,the stickers on the forks dont match the frame.
i was at work bidding for it expecting it to go for loads more than it did ::).
-
Great find and a bargain at £144 - nice one dude!
:daumenhoch:
-
Nice one , i was watching that aswell , just to see how much it would fetch , Bargain ........
Good luck with it , great bike .
-
its nice to find a survivor.
my last two bikes have been like this.
both one owner and been in sheds/lofts since stopped being rid.
its nice to have a bit of history with them.

bargin mate !!!!! :daumenhoch:the brakes and hotseat alone are worth that :4_17_5:
-
lucky man 'sweet :daumenhoch:
-
Nice find.
I want those handlebars! :coolsmiley:
-
to be honest I still havent been able to have a real proper look at it..but those rear stays are really thin....and from what i can remember i could'nt find a serial number anywhere and i dont think theres chevrons on the gusset.

cheers for your help/input guys :daumenhoch:

Hey Matt ... that's great news mate. Another Torker made Sport so that makes two now ... wicked :daumenhoch:
My serial number is TO8840459 S ... our frames were made in exactly the same month of '84 and not much between them either

Im more and more sure my old sport that I got in 84 was a torker one. Im sure it didnt have chevrons, had tiny stays that werent capped on the end, and the frame number was on the drop out. Oh well. I used it VERY well for many years and in the end the down tube broke, the seat tube pulled out of the BB and the seat tube/top tubes flange cracked. I dont remember for sure but I think it just got binned in the end.
-
ok this is going to stay exactly how i picked it up..im just gonna clean it up a bit :)

Yeah he did tell me that he bought it from new,i think he thought that it would go for more than it did to.
still it nearly went to the tip apperntly,it was at his dads house and nearly got tipped. :D
