They're alright Rob - UK owned company renown for making cheap completes/parts.

No complaints about their forks from someone I know has a pair (although they use the Jesus forks) - they are 4130 (even though it doesn't say on that ad). Also what's aload of cobblers is those forks were £115 in 2011 - you can get them now direct from Amity for £75 so a decent saving on the eBay ones.

If you get em make sure you have a female front hub, and check your peg clearance n'all.
