Robinson forks?

(1/4) > >>

dinglem:
Does anybody on here know anything about Robinson forks? These came on the Brum WHEELS I collected yesterday - I just wanted to check dating more than anything as I know nothing about them. They have a very rounded upper profile as you can see in the pic. Drop outs and welds look good, and both original decals are present. Very light.

Any info appreciated. Thanks guys.

NORTY40:
Going of the decal style I would say they are around 86 Mart  ;)

I could do with them for my Robo mini if you decide to sell  ;)

Carl (in2bmx) will probably be able to confirm the date  :daumenhoch:

rounded shoulders = earlier type

I did wonder that myself Nick but with Mart saying they are original decals  im 99% sure those decals only came out around 86  :-\  If they are earlier ones there no good to me as i really need a set from 86 onwards

I think we need Carl or Darren maybe to shed some light on them .

Are they thinner tubing than normal forks Mart ?

dinglem:
Yes the fork arms are very thin, having looked at them again. The decals are old, which is what I meant, but no idea if they're ORIGINAL original if you know what I mean? Are these Mini-specific and when did they first start making them?

One of the Minis in this team shot (to the right) also has forks with rounded shoulders too... The same?
