Does anyone know this composite steel / titanium fork ?
She looks a lot like a McMahon.

Re: Mysterious fork composite steel/titanium

and if it were a litespeed prototype?
looks like the first series litespeed fork
dropouts and cantilever pins are very similar
if you need more photos tomorrow I go to the garage I'll do it

Re:

I think same as you for titanium legs.
Very similar to your ? Litespeed prototype fork.
Dropouts and welds looks like to first Litespeed frames, we can see on this photo :

Re:

Do you know how many of this first models were made ?
Did they break easily, why the other design ?
The design of mine has never been seen ...
 
Re: Mysterious fork composite steel/titanium

Here are some more detailed photos of the first series litespeed

in your fork the linskey hand has certainly been there

Re:

Thanks for a photos Adriano.
Undoubtedly the bottom of my fork was made by the Linskey family (Litespeed).
It is the pieces of a fork cut and / or broken.
 
Re:

I must admit that I wanted to test a little if you were going to find. Adri.75 has found the bottom, congratulations to him.

In fact I made the fork with a Kona P2 and a Litespeed first gen.
You will see more on the post of my Newsboy there:
