Is there anything stamped on the steering tube?  They look like Akisu but they are usually stamped, don't think hey are Tange either  :-\.  Not much help really  ::)  :LolLolLolLol:.

They are Akisu forks, worth a quid for sure :daumenhoch: They are fairly well made generic forks, and will finish off a rider nicely

I think Akisu made a variety of forks for different companies, the welds look clean and neat so maybe they are, it does not necessarily mean they aren't Akisu if they are not stamped.  It's never easy trying to name the makes so a little guesswork is required  :daumenhoch:.

They did make forks for loads of people, I had an akisu frame an forks last year. I have also had a few pairs of the forks, they wasnt all stamped.  :daumenhoch:
