Fork identity

Recommended Posts

I have just bought my first trials bike and it's a Bantam. I wondered if anyone could help identify the forks it has fitted?

It has billet yokes and the forks look a bit like the REH ones - except they have a bracket for the hub stay(?) and have an external nut on the spindle rather than the internal type thing on the REH ones.

Any pointers more than welcome!

Anyone recognise them?

Could they be Montesa ?  70's / 80's ,look like Montesa slab yokes and bottoms could be cleverly modified to give in line spindle position. Brake anchor lug looks familiar and of course it dosn't take much to remove the logo. Very nice job.

Thank you for the replies - all the Montesa forks I'd seen have the sprindle forwards of the forks.

What MZ model would they be? I can't think of any I've seen that don't have cast in mudguard mounts - and these didn't seem to look like anything had been machined off? Though it could have been and just finished well.

The whole bike has had a lot of time and effort spent on it I think.
