Rixie Fork

[kingfish254]

Someone posted a $2000 Rixie Tandem in the Idiots of Craigslist thread. Ridiculous price, but very cool fork.

I googled it and found this on MTBR.

Looks like an early Girvin.

The second pic. looks like it has two exhaust pipes coming off the engine ?

I wondered about the second exhaust also. And is that anything like the Zundapp forks? Dr T.?

First off, cool fork. Don't know if it's a Zundapp, but it's a typical girder style springer. Looks like it's kind of a lightweight, maybe from a 'city bike'.

BTW, did I mention it was cool fork?

Now to find one.

Cheers,
Dr. T
