Forks I.D. please
« on: January 21, 2008, 01:01 PM »
Brought these as Goose forks but i am not convinced. These forks have a taper on them and the sticker looks as though its been put on by a drunk person (because of the taper). They have the same basic design i.e. 3 piece construction with welded on drop outs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Very difficult, I don't think they are VDC or Robinson as neither taper in at the dropout.  What are the quality of the welds like?  Very puzzling  :-\.

     Just as an update as nobody could say for sure thought you might be interested to know what they are.

   88' Super Goose!!  I always thought 80's Goose forks were ONLY ever 1" straight tubing, unless they were made by Tange.
