Did Torker make a flat fork during the early to mid 80's? I'm trying to remember all the parts from my bike of the past, and I vividly remember having a set of crome forks with blue lettering, and the materal was flat similar to how the PK-Ripper frames were. I thumbed through all the pictues from the museum and I don't see anything that looks like them? Just curious if anyone knows what they could have been. I was too young to remember the brand. Talking about 82-85 or so.

I don't think so. Not in that era.

stevenbven was selling this Torker fork recently which looks nothing like any Torker product I've ever seen, I'm guessing this is a recent Torker beach cruiser fork, but still nothing like your explaining.

Those shoes are "Off the Wall" Randy.

Maybe Tange TRX?

JMC forks were 'flat', no?

could be JMC, Raleigh or even the Tange if they were truly flat/thin or bladed in shape


or you coulda had some older Webco or CYC forks on your 80's frame, they had more of a square tubing since you say it resembled the PK tubing

AHHH, I think I figured it out. Traker sounds quite familiar. Now where can I find a picture?

Tange made a fork called ARX. Maybe it was them?
Pic is from Alans in the UK.

There is a Traker in the museum, very bottom of the 1981 list. It's one version they offered, another had the oval fork like you mention.

They were made and distributed from Wisconsin.

As always ... I'm a (few) day(s) late.

The quality of this picture isn't the greatest, but, I think you guys are, in fact, describing a Traker fork.

The complete bike is an '82 with the later round leg fork. The show chrome '83 next to it has the first generation ('81) fork. Many of the oval leg forks broke at the dropout.

Yep now that's the exact fork I was thinking of. I had a black 82 PK looptail with the above pictured chrome fork. I even remembered the blue lettering but I couldn't remember the brand. Thanks for the pics. Man this site brings back sooooo many memories. I wish I still had that bike.
