Please post the pic if you have it. Also, post any pics of Martin on the Torker or GHP.

Vintage member 91master had the pics up on here a while back.

I have one of martin on a prototype GHP. Hold on a second......

Do I smell a Martin replica bike coming now?

Now that I have a scanner, I could now scan this pic for you - with much better quality. There were some smaller pics of Martin on this bike in the same mag as well. If I get a chance, I'll do it this evening for you James.

i believe what james is really looking for would be a close-up of martins torkers' "twin top tube" and a close-up of the left rear drop-out although any pics will help...

91master has the pics of martin on the Torker.
I can't remember how close up they were though.
twintoptuber
Right on, lol.

Any pics of Martin on his Torker would be sweet.

Sorry for the big yet not too good pics, from Plus!, February 1985:

Toughest trick?

Yeah! - I just did one in the rain two days ago and rode in and out without lying the bike down like Martin does!! And I did it no-handed! Why am I not famous?

Seriously,
Tough to see the rear drop outs in those pics James and Brian....

Daniel - isn't there another color pic on the opposite page?
Brian P
sweet pics, that dropout looks slotted to me.... but....................
Daniel W
No color pic on the opposite page. I don't recall seeing a color photo of Martin on a Torker in any issue of Plus... maybe BMXA or Freestylin', but I don't have those from this era.
Bedlam Bikes
Check the cover of the magazine... is it on there? I know there is a color photo of him riding that bike somewhere....
Daniel W
Not on the cover, sorry.

Ok, in the October '84 issue of Plus! it says that Martin is on Torker, then he appears doing the cherrypicker in the February '85 issue and in the April '85 issue he's seen wearing GT uniform... so the time-frame for Martin being on a Torker is a fairly short one. I checked those issues and no luck for a color pic.

WOW that Martin Torker would be a cool build. I really wanna see those hubs. They look like they might be black SST's
