I wasn't saying they are Botema's, I was just saying they are similar  ;)

Coastvl:
I'm guessing early Redline MXII or proline forks. Exactly what I'm lookin for in fact. Bit too far away from me though.

FuNMoNsTeR:
Yep deffo look like late 70s Redline forks to me ;)
 The pink cyclecraft ones pictured have sharper edges on the dropouts.

selfpreservation:
check the redline in the Bolt-on frame platforms thread in freestyle it has similar forks

--- Quote ---Redline also did that style of fork (basically a smaller, copied design of the Bottema)
--- End quote ---

Redline (Linn Kastan) invented the BMX fork in 1974, they did not copy the Bottema fork design.

Guy, I would say those forks are mid to late 70s nickel Redline forks that have been drilled, quite a rare find in the UK.

If you are interested in selling them give me a shout :daumenhoch:

Bren :)
