Dude you SCORED!!!Please treat it right and not cut it up or weld stuff to it!!

Those are Super Cool! I myself have been looking for those forks, and it;s good to knwi what they are! A friend of mine had a set on his bike as a kid, he jumped a creek (long way down) and snapped them!

 

[65rat]

No cutting or welding. Just alot of cleaning and polishing. He did engrave his name in them cause the first bike he had with them got stolen.

So they are a 26" fork?
I'd like to see someone make one.

 

[Rat Rod]

I think they originally came on a 20" BMX bike, but because of the extended length you can run a 26" wheel.

 

[kingplinker]

that's the bike!!! his was orange... far out!

 

[aka_locojoe]

Cool. Thanks Steve.

I mocked it up on my 48 24" Dayton Huffman frame tonight. It's the same year as my truck. :idea: do some yellow wheels to match truck. 8) 8) 8)
