Brought these as Goose forks but i am not convinced. These forks have a taper on them and the sticker looks as though its been put on by a drunk person (because of the taper). They have the same basic design i.e. 3 piece construction with welded on drop outs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

As you can see from the front they look goose its from the side it gets a little pear shape - literally-
-
Very difficult, I don't think they are VDC or Robinson as neither taper in at the dropout. What are the quality of the welds like? Very puzzling :-\.
-
Def. not pro class standard ! not the best, i will take some close ups of the drop outs and the steerer tube welds.

Reasonably good welds but can't put my finger on them :-\

Just as an update as nobody could say for sure thought you might be interested to know what they are.
88' Super Goose!! I always thought 80's Goose forks were ONLY ever 1" straight tubing, unless they were made by Tange.
