E.T Forks Question

(1/2) > >>

oldskooldayz:
Sorry peeps I'm not trying to drag out a new et thread but would like to clear this up in my own mind and be sure of what's needed

What forks were on the original E.T frame set

1-oval trx ?
2-round trx ?
3-round Tange with the raised dropouts ?

I have both 1&3 but want to make sure it's not 2 I need as judging from so many pics
They look to be the round trx forks on it

Please clear this up

Cheers

When you say raised drop outs do you mean they are below where the fork ends? If so then thats it, ive had mine since new & they are definatly round (not oval) & the drop outs are below the end of the fork (but of course still in front). Ive seen some where the dropouts are above where the fork ends & i'm sure these arnt correct.  :)

I think he means in front but above where the tube ends (like the tange 1200). If that's the  case he's right that's not correct.
As far as i know the nearest match is round TRX.
Here is a few pics of mine as it arrived with the original paint on plus a bit of added emulsion  ;D

#1 oval tange  :daumenhoch:

Correct I did mean with the dropouts above the ends of the forks

But yep I did think they should be round And not semi or oval
Cheers

If anyone has a set of the round ones let me know asap please

Cheers
