I just picked this up. Never heard of Torker before but thought it would be a good one for my youngest to rat. Couldn't post the pic but here's a link:

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. :|

I don't know what year this one is but the guy I bought it from said he paid $160 for it new a few years ago at his LBS. It's got a couple scratches but other than that it's practically new! The $20 bill was worth it I think.

Torker is well-known in the BMX world, but only started making cruisers and other bikes from 2000 on.
Here's a shot of my Torker Custom build. The only original parts are the frame and chainguard, which are from 2004.

Very nice bike! Goes well with the background!
