Sadly they're not Rickman forks though. Good luck finding a set if you go down that route.

Thanks for the heads up, once I get the hundred layers of paint off il check. Already figured the forks aren't og as the welding on them is utter shit :D fingers crossed I have sourced a set of forks, just waiting to hear back on them :)
Bike is stripped to the frame now so will get some more pics up once the paint starts coming off :)

bloody hell! 30 year old powder coating is tuff stuff! so much so that after 4 hours, i called it a day and will have another crack at it tomorrow.

tuff neck is in good nick under the paint :)
southern andy, do you know what the frame No.s mean? also there is no marking for a colour.... does that mean anything special?

Bargain at £30 too :shocked: .... Tuf neck disc is worth close to that so you got yourself a free frame :daumenhoch:
