they dont look like PA cranks, the arms look ovalised and also the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gen cranks did have ovalised tubes they were peiced at both ends and only the 1st gen cranks were pierced at one end, hence the name. 1st gen PA cranks had almost round tubes

Boss? TNT? Supercross? I think they all did similar looking cranks, I'm probably wrong, I should just go....

Solid?

They look like fusion cranks the 1's that came on the 89/90 team models?

Are you sure Ollie??? 89-90 team cranks are alloy. You had a set!

Stripped em off few more pics sorry only iphone at the mo
Maybe there just random copie things?

kev-s · « **Reply #10 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:19 PM »

going by those pics they deffo not mk1 p.a's as the axle is a 48 spline one and i think the forks are the normal khe ones not standard forks

the pics olly sent me from his pooty iphone were quite small and made them look like mk1 p.a's

have a look here http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=121273.0 at the last red khe beater and the forks are exactly the same

Red one has the same cranks to?

kev-s · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:29 PM »

the pedal end of the arms on that red one are more angled/pointed

I know KHE had some second gen cranks out similar to that (after the one's with the single pinch bolt), also Mutation had some that were similar - will try and find some pics.

Have you got a front-on pic of the forks? Be def able to tell if they're Standard or KHE then, like I told Olly

thebigdog · « **Reply #14 on:** November 18, 2012, 02:08 PM »

pics of forks i stripped it down today no markings i can see

gave it a quick wipe off today comes up ok

Only paid Â£20 for the whole bike so not bothered what any parts are really

Dannywhac · « **Reply #15 on:** November 18, 2012, 02:27 PM »

Nice for £20

Looking at them forks, I'd say they are Standards - the shape of the legs going into the steerer is identical to Standards. Also I think the KHE forks peg bosses were on the ends of the fork legs, not piercing the legs. The only thing that would put me off would be that they've got a cable guide, but as Standard did customs etc you never know....

Mdbh · « **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:12 PM »

+ if matt was to sell said parts there a good stand in for people who couldn't afford £170+ for cranks

Didnt Heavy Tools make a set fo forks like that?

Mdbh · « **Reply #18 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:21 PM »

I'd say 100% there standards!

Yeah, as did Static - the dropout design was quite well copied mid 90's. I *think* though their peg bosses were all at the ends of the fork legs. The KHE's I've had (and the similar early Gussets) all had leg-end peg bosses. I'll have a look through some of me Invert/Rides tomoz as I'm 'working from home' and get bored quickly

thebigdog · « **Reply #20 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:54 PM »

When stripping down the headset was a tioga bear trap ,im guessing that wasnt standard fit to the bike?
So maybe the forks are not standard as in khe standard if you know what mean.

kev-s · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2012, 06:50 PM »

i reckon they are khe forks, in the link i posted earlier in the thread the first 2 bikes have the fork with the peg bosses right on the end of the fork leg like danny describes

the 3rd (red) bike's forks have the peg bosses slightly up from the bottom of the forks just like matt's ones, maybe they are a early design before they moved the peg bosses down slightly just as s&m did with the ditchfork

Mdbh · « **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2012, 07:11 PM »

Khe forks where thred less 1" clamp on, plus had ad mounts they prob wouldn't of come with a brake plate either there defo not khe, and if there not standard then there copies as there dam close to me the drop outs are identical
