Title: 84 Sport Just About Finished
Post by: Flatcap on January 31, 2008, 02:34 PM
Sorry about the quality of the picture as even with the lights on it was dark in our room and the flash wasn't working for some reason.  :-\ No idea why the Tuffs came out the weird blue they have! I'll get some better pics when I can get outside on a nice day, kin weather! Thanks to anyone who I got parts from, you know who you are, always a pleasure and no hassles.

Gen 2 84 Sport just about finished, not one for the purest and it needs a bit of tweaking here and there but I'm liking it. It's as near as I can get it to mine bitd and I'll be changing the bars and cranks eventually but it'll do for now. I've also got some spoke wheels for it for when I want to ride it properly, Tuffs look cool but I was a lot lighter when I used to use them back then.

Daz.  :daumenhoch:

Erm....I'm pretty sure dude.

Serial number is on the inside of the right rear dropout and not on the BB and it starts T1084****S but it is difficult to see because of the powder coating, it was done before I got it mate. There's also no Chevrons on the headtube gusset. I was tempted to remove the paint/powder coating from the area where the serial number is but I didn't want to spoil it to be honest.

Thanks for your comments by the way guys, I like to keep things like me - simple!

Steve

T1084****S

As mentioned previously Steve this is about as much as I can make out mate, you have to hold it up in the light and move it round to try and catch it from different directions  ;D I had the missus stood with a pen and paper for about an hour and it changed about twenty times during that time, I'm sure we've all been there.  ;D She eventually got pissed off and went to bed leaving me scratching my head.

That one of yours Steve is probably my fav on here mate, sorry to the others by the way lads, sooooooo clean, it's laaaaaarrrrvly  :smitten:

I wonder if there's any way of doing an x-ray or something to see if you can see it, like they do in CSI  ;D or am I just talking out of my 4rse.  ::)

Your serial is only missing the index ... at least you can see the important part including the month and year

Looks shocking mate, truly shocking  ::)



 :LolLolLolLol: Very nice and very tidy  :daumenhoch:

For the serial number get some tracing paper and a really soft B type pencil and do a "rubbing" over the serial number, should be able to work it out that way  ;).

Nice one, so its another Torker built Sport & as Steve says thats five Gen 2 Sports now, you should pass the number on to Greentoad he has them all listed.

You keep this one quite, where did you get it  ???


Here's mine ready for powder..

Two reasons for that mate.....firstly I point blank refuse to pay the over inflated prices that they're going for these days and also it's gonna get changed for a blue Elina Flyte Tech when I get one.
