Hi guys, I was recently at a vw show with the coolflo guys doing the show and shine, a lad walked up with his bike and asked some questions about it, pretty much everyone that has a bmx at these events asks us questions on what they have.

Now this lad had a set of forks on his bike with strange drop outs. I'm sure someone on here was after a set but couldn't find any for love or money. They ended up getting one of the rad metal gurus to fabricate the strange drop outs onto a different set of forks.

Anyway here are some pics.   :daumenhoch:

So what did the mt racing forks look like?

Were the drop outs similar? I remembered a thread.
Any links about.  :daumenhoch:

Could be wrong but have seen something similar on some french bikes, MBK/motobecane perhaps?

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Mm that motobecane has similar forks.

I did grab the lads phone number as he is interested in getting rid of them in favour of some gt ones to match his frame.  :daumenhoch:

Get some Curtis pics up for reference.  :4_17_5:
