1979 Torker MX Eddie King

1979 Torker MX Eddie King

Project with Shimano euro BB, Torker Nondrilled forks
Serial # TV 18_ E located on the euro bb. One number left out due to a wise man's (owner of the museum) sujestion so scammers have harder time of taking whats ours.

Nice. What's the SN on this? Where is it located? On the BB or rear drop out?

I'm researching Torkers for an article I'm writing. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael

Thanks. The question mark means you can't make out the third number?

SN on the BB makes it a 1979.

I just got one myself, but a 1980. Fun stuff. Should have it built next week. Just need to get some spokes so I can build my wheels.

Cheers,

Michael

Oh no... I was told by Gary? Owner of Museum to put a ? or # sign in place of 1 or 2 numbers in serial # to avoid posting complete serial #s of my rides. because...

Sadly...Some are not out to help fellow honest members but rather... try & take whats ours
This was a tip from owner of museum so others might appreciate the warning also
Pretty lame how we can't share all info on our rides due to jealous scammers

If that 1# left out tells you more info then I'll pm you it. All my serial #s are clear as day on all my rides.

Thanks for the great info. I can now put the correct year
Keep up the great help threads & Happy Holidays.
Doug

PS: Boxline69 that is one SICK T/A you have
PlanetX- headed to check out your sick rides also

Yeah, PM me, or better yet, email me. I have another EK with one digit dif. in my collection of serial numbers. It's curious. If you email me, I'll send you all my info so far. Hope to publish it on OS soon.

Not sure what keeping SNs secret really achieves, but I understand people's concern. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, right? So the guy who says it's his would have to have some proof you took or acquired it in some underhanded way. Some saxophone collectors do the same thing. Never really understood that either.

Cheers,

Michael

I agree 9/10Ths of the law is Possesion/ownership. All my rides are clean, clear & no groundoff serial #s. I believe leaving a couple #s out is to avoid possible headaches. Always up for avoiding headaches though & will respect his advise.

email headed your way.
