Need some help on these. I think that I may have a set of some other beefy Mid school forks w/3/8ths drops that are like 1/4 inch thick.

pics...I'll post mine in a bit.

Here's a couple of pics of mine to help you ID them





The version with the extended legs are from my early model Soul Bro and are the original type that Homeless built (well it was actually B&E). The shorter legged forks come from my '93 Mack and are very similar to Hoffman forks. There's a story behind why the fork design changed but I'll let Steve Styler explain that as he got it straight from James Shepherd...

hmmm, mine may just be a sticker or something WAY later generation. Any additional thoughts?
LONG-HAUL
Yep, they look like later Homeless forks, from this generation frame (don't think my forks are Homeless on this later Mack). When I get a free moment I'll scan then mid nineties Homeless ad as it shows those forks with that script sticker.

PEP your forks are indeed Homeless. Made right here in Austin TX.The forks Long Haul shows were all made in Cali by B&E.Yours are of the last era of Homeless that was all in-house production.The one inch threaded steerer tells me that they were early models from that era because eventually everything they made was 1 1/8 " threadless

I don't know for sure, but his Mack is in Tim's apartment above Trend. If he was running them that's probably where they are.Just saw James recently @ the 9th Street alunni photo shoot.He was riding an older Federal and cradling a Miller tall boy.
