1980 Torker

Saved from the junk yard

This was a hell of a restauration.
The frame and fork were abused so much and hard that I needed to replace the dropouts on the frame.
But after lot's of hours work it turned out just fine.
The color (candy red) is much nicer (lighter) in real then on the photo's.
Part list:
Torker frame and fork, Araya 7X rims, suzue hubs, alloy nuts, Kenda tyres, Tourney crank, MKK pedals, UNI seat, alloy bar, SR stem, Tange grips, Dia Come brake + lever, Cycle Pro seatpost clamp, lightening bolt plate.
