As Torker states in their catalog, "Stomp out the competition
like the bigger boys on the Factory Team with the LPX.
Designed for the 15 and over rider, it is longer in the front
end for more leg and arm movement, and is stronger because of
the larger diameter downtube. It has an American bottom
bracket and is available in chrome, blue, red, and black.
For some reason the Torker blue really stood out to me compared
to all the other brands at that time. The blue TorkFlyte
was such a cool complete bike accented with gold anodized parts.
Thought I would up the ante a little bit with some sano products
of that time period to create this ultimate racing machine!
Cook Bros. state in their catalog:
- New design SlantLine stem for lower handlebar
positioning and sleek appearance; reduces stress on the top
plate
- It's the strongest and most reliable stem on the market
today. Period.
- Designed specifically for the aggressive, powerful rider
and built to take the toughest abuse of bicycle BMX racing
- F.W. McIntyre Pro bars are exceptionally strong and
safe.
- Unlike aluminum handlebars, they are highly resistant to
metal fatigue
- Features thicker cross bar for additional strength and
ease of number plate attachment
- The rise and set back of these handlebars has been
specifically designed to offer the competitive racer maximum
leverage and comfort
- "Lay back" design seat post gives the rider better
control on and off the race track
- High-quality low-maintenance hub was developed after
strenuous on-the-track testing
- Sealed and anodized to protect against dirt, water, and
solvent corrosion
Shimano DX crank set:
- Z-Line crank arms with adjustable crank arm length from
170 - 180mm
- One key release
- Octa Joint Axle
- Sealed bottom bracket, has ball bearings but with some
seals to protect from dirt
