Not sure it's a Curtis that tbh... rear dropouts look more like PR Racing.  ???

Nice!

What are your plans? Part it out and flip it or restore and ride it?

I bet someone somewhere is crying out for those forks, if they are CURTIS, they certainly look like it....

Whatever you do, good luck, glad someone on here got it  fistblump

If it's a PR Racing frame they are most probably PR Racing forks... the framesets were more or less identical apart from the rear dropouts.   :daumenhoch:

Cool, thanks for the info. Custard, everyday is a school day (still...)

Did Curtis make them for PR Racing then?

(useless piece of info. Brian's son was in my class at Selwood Middle School, Frome 1985....)
