Funk question: What forks are these & which sus forks in

[toons]

I don't reckon these are made by funk (look like generic forks around that time), any ideas what make they are?

I've got zero chance of finding some Funk big forks, what would you suggest?

Also does anybody know if the funk suspension forks changed the geometry and which suspension forks were around in 91-92?

Tange Big Fork

Nah, tange big forks did'nt taper, I first thought tange prestige but then compared the thickness of the down tube to the fork - its a toughy :? :?:

there are some NOS 1-1/4 MX 100 forks ending soon on ebay.com :idea:

Spinner :?:

Probably, I remember seeing an identical frameset like that. They were pretty uninspiring items.

Cheers guys.

Not a great fan of the early Marzocchi forks.

FYI: I had a pair of Funk suspension forks that I purchased new in 92. It was a toss between them and the McMahon Titaniums. No one around had Funks so I got them. They were cool looking....but they are the noisiest forks I have ever owned...squeak, squeak, squeak (elastomers/spacers) from the moment they were on the bike. After several attempts to fix the problem at the LBS, I sent them back to Bike Pro and got a pair of RS Mag 21 which are still with me & working till this day.

From what I recall they are a bit taller than a Mag 21...and in return taller than a rigid fork.

I vote Spinner, they look identical to the ones on my DBR.
