Framedoc replaced the seattube, otherwise, nothing was done to the frame (except I powdered, and stickered it when I got it back).

how does a seat tube get that worked? Nice save buy the way!

It was cracked, and I'm guessing, rewelded by a blind man at a muffler shop! Thanks. Other then the inside of one dropout having some indenting from the axle, this frame looks new!

It's a Long non-chromoly frame pre October of 1982 back to 1979 when they had red ones.
TuRBo Todd Britton
Thanks. If it helps, it was originally a blue frame.

Chrome, Blue, and Red came out in '77 but when they redesigned the Torker MX to the Low Profile design, LPX which became very popular, Torker seemed to crank out a bunch of chrome ones in '78 then started the colors again later that year into '79 with both chromoly and steel models. Nice to see another Torker saved from the junk pile!

Forgot to add that Torker did not come out with a White LPX frame. In 1983 280X models were White then Pro-X's in 1984.
