It looks just like the sidewinder I recently finished! Which looks like a king sting. And the sidewinder frame was indistinguishable from a varsity frame. Seemed like maybe the sidewinder bottom bracket was slightly elevated compared to varsity??? But I didn’t take any measurements.

I have the decals for your fork. Bought them from velocals before they went out of business. Possibly their last order. Anyways they sent me an extra set. Will give you a deal if you want them. Or interesting trade.
I’ll buy the decals if you are willing to let go.

I’m definitely doing the Varsity like a King Sting. I installed an old Araya 7X wheel set with a new Shimano 7C rear hub and it’s not working well. This is my first time using one and it’s a good chance I did something wrong. It slips in and out of gears. I could use a bit of advice.

Nice finds I've seen Ashtabula forks like that but not in chrome.
Knew I had the picture somewhere... Found it. Guy still has most of them.
