Nice!

On the inside of the dropout, right below the leg there should be some numbers etched in. Curious to know what yours are

Composite

I guess we are both correct. By the time I bought my Comp(etition) fork, Composite was the general name for Bontrager's forks, with the Competition being the specific name for the higher end Composite fork:

Re:

Here's my curvy/fillet brazed/u-braked composite fork.

Bike build has progressed much further since I snapped this picture, still on-hold until I find some appropriate brake levers....

hi hollister
there are no markings what so ever on my fork blades.
went over them top to bottom with a fine tooth comb.
they have been repainted the white, maybe paint
is thick and filled them in.

Well due to having baby-related-bills I've just had to admit defeat and put mine on eBay! :-(

"One day I'll be rich" and I'm going to buy all this stuff back again and build several bikes!!!!!!!

Just doing a bit of cross referencing here. Funny how Rod's memory is better now
than 10+ years ago.

Off road toad prototype build.
