Unusual, but really like it. Forks obviously set it apart. Nice find, interesting to know how many were built.
Very, Very, Very Early Aluminum Mountain Bike

Re:
Definitely not a home brew as I have seen one before, early nineties at the Cheddar Challenge, but for the life of me I can't recall anything about the owner or the bike.
I was on a borrowed Proflex 854 and remember comparing forks for no other reason than they both looked odd in comparison to most bikes at the time.
Of course, it could be the same bike, but very much doubt it.

dirttorpedo, I'll try to reach out to Gary Turner.
disco drive, not sure when Funk started building, worth a check.
xxxnick, possible, but it seems others have been spotted in the past.
24 pouces, cool indeed.
Cheshire, I'm guessing at least 37, lol.
cuminsky, this one is from southern California. where is the Cheddar Challenge held? How far back did you see it?
M-power, I'm not a big FB'er, but if any of you gents want to post it up I'd appreciate the help.
cheers,
Steve

Re: Re:
Probably not likely, but anything is possible in almost twenty years.
Shame you didn't snap a picture.
I may never find out who built it, but it will be a fun search, and I'll keep riding it and smiling in the mean time.
