I was watching that and noticed it went really cheap for an '84 sport. Almost worth it for the MX1000's alone.

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  ::).

Post by: thebigdog on February 24, 2007, 08:49 AM
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.

ill have a better look when ive finished work today,ill get some better pics of it later and post'em up. :)

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.

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
