Title: What forks are these?
Post by: Discostu on October 27, 2013, 09:22 PM: I recently bought a frame and it came with these forks. They look pretty good with tidy welds and nice drop outs.
The top hollow bolt has m jh written on it. The frame I bought is from 2001 and these forks do have 01 written in the steerer tube, so I'm guessing they are from that year.

Anyway does anyone have a clue what they are? Cheers stu. :daumenhoch:

Could be T1's, could be Pitch's or other'ns fella.

Post by: Dannywhac on October 27, 2013, 10:27 PM: I think they're Volume forks Stu - the early T1's and Pitches axle-mount slots are slightly further back on the drops - the Volumes have that narrower bit of drop at the front of the axle slot :daumenhoch:

If that makes any sense at all :LolLolLolLol:

Should add - they made them types from late 99 to around 2002ish.
