kore pioneered the zero rake fork along with (but not before) KHE in the early 90's

i think the kore forks were cheaper

Yeah, zero rake. They nearly went in the skip as they came with a load of bits off an Apollo (or something just as bad), it was only because they had an ACS Boa on that i gave them a second look and noticed how good the welds were ;)

I only asked as i had never heard of them. I'll get a picture of them and post it up

Believe Bob Morales did some design work for Kore whilst running the Morales frame co.
(didn't they (kore) make a bashguard way back?)

Probably the reason why the kore forks were packaged with the Morales frames?

i just got rid of a set of these, they are nice 14mm drop out zero offset flatland forx. they come with adapters to take them down to 10mm. they are well built and the chroming is good, but they are over built and heavy. dropouts are too big generally and the fork is just soo heavy.
get the new oddyssey flat forks if you want zero offset.
