The forks changed around late '86 early '87 so the first two-tones came with the non-stamped forks and the later ones with the stamped forks

They're very rare in white.

Bought those off a fellow member for, what I thought at the time, a small fortune. As it turns out it wasn't a bad price.

I've now sold them to a fellow collector for what I consider to be a bargain (given the current market).

They're the same as Panaracers. Skyway sold them in white, grey and baby blue
