The DeCoster fork has welded drops, they're pretty recognisable but i'm fairly confident that they weren't around in the 70'sYours look like Tange 1200 pinched forks which i think Mongoose fitted from '79, if yours is a '78 and you're interested in "era correctness" then fit black non stamped Ashtabula forks.

Here's a BMX Products ad from the 1st BMXA Dec 76/Jan 77' & states new Roger decoster forks.
What if. Any colour options were there for Decoster ? I'm thinking about the 76 specifically. Obviously nickel was the main one but were any painted ?

Obviously nickel was the main one but were any painted ?Pretty sure the forks were only available in nickle Ash,especially in 76' when they 1st came out.I've seen later catalogues w/them like Schwinn & others & only had nickle listed.I'll have a root around & see what i can dig up.
