Sprite Betor? Forks

[bigshineybike]

Hi all,

I hope the link to my flickr page works and maybe someone can have a look and confirm if these are Betor forks.

the only writing of any sort is cast into the handlebar clamps but they bolt on so this could be misleading.

Thanks.

And if they are Betor that makes them Spanish?

Could they then be pre65? They are for my Mark one Sprite which I understand could possibly be built in 1964 but more likely pre 1968.

They need rechroming if anyone knows a good specialist in Surrey or London?

I have started a picture album with Sprite pictures. Maybe some of you could add somemore.

Thanks all

Hi

Looks like REH legs in Betor yokes.

Yokes are from a late Ossa from what I can see of them, one of the green models.

If the forks are original, then probably REH as mentioned in previous post.

Eligibility all depends on where you ride but I doubt anyone is going to complain about REH forks down your way as although they aren't genuine Pre65, along with the bike, they are generally accepted, as are MP and Ceriani in most pre65 events, as are Sprites themselves in fact. The only clubs who may frown are the Yorkshire Classic or Red Rose classic but they have a specials class anyway so you could always ride the Sprite in that - if you ever ride up that way that is. As for Scotland, they won't like the bike, the Ossa yokes or even the REH forks if the examiner is feeling particularly panickity, so I'd forget about that event and just enjoy riding your bike elsewhere. A lot of clubs actually run the pre65 class as pre70 British now so the Sprite has no problems there and I doubt anyone would even notice the Ossa yokes, or realise what they are.
