  1. my dad ordered me a torker dx off of e-bay from price-thumper. I was on
    the computer and i went to ebay to look at it and it said your palpal
    pament has been sent. I called my dad and i asked him about it and he
    goes i didn't order anything. i said then why does it say that your
    paypal payment has been sent. he goes that was supose to be a suprise
    how did you find out. i go it says it. Now I have a torker dx on the
    way and i have to give my dad money. It was a suprise to see that but
    I think it would have been more of a suprise to see the ups people
    bring me a box on it that says torker on the side. I am so happy and i
    had to share the news.

    It depends on your riding. I've had the 24" for quite awhile, and done
    lots of hard muni on it, and not even a sign of breakage yet. I'm sure
    it would last you at least several months if not more. I've heard that
    Torker is replacing broken frames....

  8. I'm not getting the frame until the dx frame breaks. The reason i would
    get the bedford frame instead of the kris holm frame is because I could
    use that money for something else. i don't know and it don't really
    matter so we will find out what i buy when it's time to but it

  9. I'm saying, why would you get a new frame befre you break the DX frame.
    Don't plan on it snapping, I know alot of people who still have DX's in
    perfect condition, but keep money on the side in case you do break it.

  15. Yeah I thought my frame had no sign of breakage either..until one night
    I was happily hopping away and ripped the entire top of the frame off.
    Torker MIGHT replace it. I emailed them about it, and they responded
    with: You can send the frame to:

    Seattle Bike Supply “warranty”
    7620 south 192nd. St.
    Kent Wa 98032
    Once we receive it we will check the frame out, after inspection and
    found to be manufactures defect we will send a replacement frame of
    what is in stock. Keep in mind that also in the owners manual, it
    says it is necessary to have your torker assembled and adjusted by an
    authorized dealer, buying it online does not always offer a full
    warranty.

    This email really [censored] me off. Supposed to be assembled by an
    authorized dealer, and buying online doesn't offer a full warranty? I'm
    happy with my dx so far, except the frame, but I will never purchace
    another torker again.

    Basically, you can waste your time ship it back to them for 20$, have a
    new one(that will probably break again) shipped back for another fee,
    or just buy a nimbus frame frame off udc for 50$.

    Though for some people it will just never break. But, you'll never know
    until it happens and you'll be [censored] when it does and torker sends
    you an email like that when they damn right know that those frames are
    [censored] and should be replaced with no hassals.

  18. Awesome! I got my DX from Price_Thumper. He shipped out next day, but
    UPS is slooooh to Canada, eh? So yeah, good choice. The frame is MUCH
    more likely to break if you get it wet and don't dry it off. So no
    leaving it out in the rain, and if it falls into a stream, dry it off
    before putting it away. Same thing goes for any uni. But more or less
    you have a nice strong wheel and a frame that will last a little while
    at least.

    20" or 24"?

    Anyway, have fun!
