This.

I also clocked them thinking they look like Bottemas. But they don't extend far enough. Not Bottemas.

Post by: lk_97 on October 17, 2011, 10:13 PM: Still a bargain though, wonder who got them?
Title: Re: Who won these
Post by: antiquebmx on October 20, 2011, 07:56 AM: still not convinced they dont look same as the 2 types in the ad
Title: Re: Who won these
Post by: diesel on October 20, 2011, 09:00 AM: I think they are Bottema Race forks
Title: Re: Who won these
Post by: Redline on October 20, 2011, 09:37 AM: Hmmm.. still they don't extend past the dropouts as far as the ones in the museum pictures. I'm undecided :-\
Title: Re: Who won these
Post by: rad_pitt on October 20, 2011, 11:52 AM: I was researching them the whole time the auction ran - I've seen a lot of snide Bottemas, and these simply don't match any of the original forks. Really not convinced they're genuine.

Post by: Glynnyboy on October 20, 2011, 12:16 PM: In that second pic the end is black as though from heat.
Could the tubes have been cut down and sealed.
Don't know why any one would do that but it just looks like a result of heat to me?

Title: Re: Who won these
Post by: mileyboy on October 21, 2011, 03:05 PM: They're mine, the blackened ends are just poor photography. They are chrome but they've had a paint job over the top which has been partially stripped and left a greenish residue. Weld quality is excellent.
