Thats what i thought mate. DP's but they are slanted at the drop and DPs aint. ???
I reckon they are Reynolds own too Paul. ;) Nice forks.
munners:
Basically this is now put to bed.
Reynolds still make a fork called 'fork blades'!! Just checked their website!
Looks like these are Reynolds own forks and that they copied the Haro fork design. :daumenhoch:
Solved!

I'm intrigued, where did you find the information about the fork blades? They list the tubing components they make here, http://www.reynoldstechnology.biz/downloads/frameparts.pdf no 531 listed though as that went out of production back in the early 90's. As far as I know Reynolds supply the bits of tubing, they do not fabricate their own forks, they leave that to the likes of Dave Hinde, Argos, Ribble, etc.
Not that I want to rain on your parade or anything, they could just be 531 tubed Haro copies made by someone in Taiwan :-\. Are there any markings anywhere on them? I remember a company doing the Haro knock-off f&f bitd, perhaps these are a set of those forks? Romblerk has a scan of the advert for those somewhere and Billy had a couple of copy sets.

Puzzled, possibly dazed and definitely confused :LolLolLolLol:

maybe, just maybe, the stickers are a later addition. ???
