I also use simple green. I get cheap plastic containers with lids from the dollar store and soak them overnight. Any leftover residue comes right off with an old toothbrush.
Torker was an old school BMX manufacturer, popular in the 1980's. I believe their bikes had twin top tubes. I think now they've gone the way of GT and Mongoose, just a name owned by an overseas conglomerate. :|
Re: Hudson westfield badge mens and 1971 Manta ray
AS bolts should be Schwinn. Forks look bent on top, or maybe mounted backwards?
Totally digging the Manta Ray. Looks like it even has the OG seat.
Re: SoCal Whittier Swap Meet Sat 8/6
I've been to this swap a few times. Something for everyone-roadies, cruisers, muscle bikes, vintage BMX. Very small, its a church parking lot, but I've picked up some good deals there.
Re: cheezy board tracker
Nice job!
In the first pic, is that the 60 freeway in the background? Kinda looks like the Jurapa Cultural Center back there, but I don't see the dinosaur.
