Post by: HUTCHMAN on December 05, 2009, 05:53 PM

I have some forks that look like Landing Gear but have something like "LUNGI" stamped on the steerer tube.Are these simply outright copies

Think I have a pair. ( they are in stowage at the mo so cant check )

I bought them from the states from a guy who had split a Toby Henderson Hauler.

I put them into a loopy ripper and found they were too long in the steerer tube. I paired them up against a US made pair of LG and the welds were not up to the same spec and the steerer tube was indeed slighty longer.

So maybe they were Taiwan made LG's under licence for SE????????????????????????????

Lungi made forks for mongoose both full chro-mo and hi-tensile steel ones in 86 (possibly earlier too).

I think they made chainwheels for diamond back as well ?  ??? :-\
