Thats cool then.
I still have a skateboard and go to the sate park a few times every summer to make sure I can still land a 360.
I agree with Paul, "Careful of what you really want", just thinking, they do make more modern style (grown folks) BMX style bikes, Eric should know.
But if you are looking for a nostalgic project, yeah, I get it.
...and yes sir, I must wear the padded bicycle shorts when I do my riding. I value my future little men, and have to show off you know

I was a 7 year old there wearing a cardigan sweater. Surprised I didn't get my *** kicked.
That bike though is another story. Someone offered me $10,000 for that about 10 years ago.

amazing how the meaningless things we should have kept are worth so much to so many people
I mean yeah, i want the Auburn or Haro.. but even 20 years from now if I find one, no way in hell I would pay $10k for it.

Here are some pics of my Torker
I just took these, It has bullseye hubs, Z rims, Takagi 180mm cranks which are the only ones that I never bent or broke, & all sealed bearings.
