Answer Pro Forx, came out in about 91/92, they are quite heavy but do not feel it when riding, this bike feels perfectly balanced on the track and in the air, the travel is just over an inch and very hard. i love them but sponsered answer riders used to weld them stiff apparently. You aint seen em as they never really took off. GT did a lovely lookin set too at about the same time  :daumenhoch:

Which are the best contemporary race forks?

answer may have produced the first serious suss bmx forks, loads of low end or even 70s efforts came before i'm sure. I think they work n hold up well, i raced a HAWK with another set on for a season too a few years back, once again, rode awesome

The adidas build is mine. Just waiting to get a few parts back from the chromers and anodisers before I can get it built up. Didn't someone do an Aero reflex with the frame covered in chocolate bubble effect shrink vinyl wrap? The Aero downtube decal was the same as the choc bar also I think....
