Well used and well loved. I shouldn't like it as much as I do. Great thread.

I don't know from what bike it is, but I think it's from old Araya frameset (found similar fork on ebay)
Markings on the fork says "Akisu 88'"

Thank you for that info. I like the crown and probably the same legs as the Akisu forks, that had the faux bi-plane crown , on earlier specialized. Nice and springy but weigh a fair bit.

We have a local meme here that "Style has no weight" So that isn't an issue for me
