Title: fork ID please
Post by: JJR on December 02, 2006, 04:17 PM: A while ago I picked up this NOS fork without decals.
I like to know what brand it could be.
It has 22.2mm OD legs and a 16,5cm (6.5") long steering tube.
The steering tube has 5 lines inside that goes like a spiral up like i've seen on roadbike forks to get stronger.
So, anyone who know what it is?
