1999 Torker Plague

The Torker Plague was a mid-upper freestyle BMX offered in 1999 and was closely based on the frame designs of the legendary Torker 280, and the Australian Rok-on and Bragg models of the 1980's

This is my 1999 Torker Plague which I scored in a bulk buy lot off eBay and it was a run down survivor so I spent a bit of time and elbow grease tidying it up to a clean presentable standard.
I polished the frame, stem and seat post clamp using Autosol, and resprayed the forks, seat post and handlebars.

I left the original decals on it as I haven't sourced any NOS.
