Jeff Bottema Forks .. What's the deal?
GRAB ON KID:
Not a fan of Murray either as were mostly known for cheap badly made low end department store bikes.
Along w/Huffy who sold shed loads of cheap bikes,towards the end these companies had the money to afford big name pros like Bottema,Clark,& even big ole Stu!
GRAB ON KID:
Just to add to that Voris only made the 1st gen Bottemas.Jeff was very picky about the welds being perfect & found out that Voris was selling 2nds that Jeff rejected out the back door so got someone else in to sort the welding after this.

I didn't really know much about Jeff either, so you're not alone Ant! Another thing - how do pronounce the name?
Bot-e-ma, or more like Bot-eee-ma?
And before anyone asks, i'm NOT googling it! :LolLolLolLol: Prefer to keep it within these walls
insectbones:
I've always pronounced it Bot-emma, probably wrong though!
