Looks great. You've kept that in great shape over the years.
Nice parts selection, love the JT sticker on the seat. I had one like it on my UNI back in the 80's.

Thanks, I had a uni seat that I would use a the track and switch to the shot gun for cruzin.

Gorgeous. The color scheme and CW bars give me a window into what my, soon to be finished, Pro-X will look like.

Love it, flights, 6 bolt stem - great stuff.

I remember I had a blue Torker 6 bolt with CW's on my PK - can't remember it ever slipping, better than proneck IMO.

Barely see them (6 bolt) on ebay, I can remember one coming up a year or so ago attached to a torker survivor.

Can I have yours biggrin.gif

No sorry bro, I saw one on ebay for $225. I almost sold my whole bike a few years ago for $250. Glad I didn't.

I'm planning on it. I haven't been on a track since the 80s , but I've ridden it in a half pipe a few times last year. I hope I still got it. This site has me fired up.
mr coasterbrake
nice!

no matter how much stuff can be had via the internets these days, nothing can replace actually having your own old bike from BITD. smile.gif

Thats so true. Your one of the lucky ones like me that still have our old bikes.
I love your Torker. Thats a beautiful example of how we all built them. Love it.

Good grief, that thing just flat out rocks.

Man, makes me long for my old Robinson.

My first real BMX bike was a Robinson. I traded it for a YZ 80. I still know the guy and I'm trying to get her back.

That thing is like a time capsule, great survivor!

Thanks STRIKE, I pretty much just had it sitting in my garage all these years. I have since cleaned and polished her up. The spokes are about the only thing that does'nt pop.

bring it out on Sunday around noon. Me and my buddy Brian will probably be there riding our cruisers. I'll also bring out my old school Diamond Back!

Sounds like fun, but I have to ask my mom err I meant my wife.
If I know that I'm going I'll give Bramer a call.
BRAMER
