I reckon them canti's are factory - they're not el crapola but the lack of weld down the inside of the drops doesn't say high end  :(

They 1 1/8" or 1" threaded Jaymz?

If they're 1 1/8" I reckon they're off a low-ish end complete - could be wrong though. Look like late 90's+, peg bosses don't look threaded so rules out modded Gusset forks (they have similar shaped drops, and as Kev suggested so did some Dragonfly/KHE's but they're usually welded all around the drops). Good to go if you wanna run a front canti though  :daumenhoch:

Those mounts look like cheap brazing or glue,Like a burner!  Not TIG welded like the fork drops.  They look misaligned to me too

Yeah they do, but with the dubious quality drop welds (as in they don't go all the way round) and the fact they're all chrome - why would ya re-chrome a turd  :D

Thing is (and it's only me opinion) why would they go to the trouble of adding aftermarket canti's without the angled hole for the cable to run through then get them rechromed?

To me they smack of production line forks, built up, then go on to either have no brake mounts, canti's or ad lugs added. Dunno though.

These forks are mine, they were on my sisters S+M Menstural which long gone but somehow these survived.
Just found them in a box of bits. Are they S+M Ditch Forks ?
