I dont believe those are Koski forks. Though a beautiful design in their own right.

The dropouts varied slightly, as the article states, The earlier version of the Koski's tended to interfere with QR's so they changed the design a little. By the time they were stamped by Tange the forks were almost indistinguishable from each other except for brand stamping. Brake bosses...

There was no exact cutoff as far as year, I cant remember the exact year when we started seeing those flowing into the sales floors as they came on as a re-design (like most Grafton stuff) rather than a "new model year". First time I remember seeing them was as warranty replacements. The...

Unlikely, I bet the cost on such a low production would be prohibitive. Next time I them dig it out of the storage box, I'll try to get some pictures of mine. There were actually two different style of drop outs one actually said "Koski" (see below) and the other one was made by Tange...

Some Charlie Cunningham modified Suntour Roller Cam Brakes

The real problem in finding these is a lot of people don't know what they have when they sell them. The dropouts are one of the few clues that distinguish these from a regular tig-welded fork. Unfortunately many have been sold as "regular" 1" rigid forks flying under the radar or simply...

And in real life:

Pointed ones are the last and final generation. They are a little beefier at the axle end I'm assuming by rounded you mean like these below?

not sure if this will help we just posted a bunch of pictures here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=153913

without better pictures hard to tell. Another way to identify mag-lites is to WEIGH them. They look like the same brake as FMJ's (non-magnesium)

Those WERE released..... The arms have a whole different profile (similar to m900 XTR canti's) and they were much less intricate. also cheaper. I had several sets of those over the years, I know I took pictures of them along the way, but cant find the pics. Here's what the arms to the...

Here are some mag lites notice the little o-ring seals. Do your's have a grove for an o-ring? these had adjusters on both sides too (although anything is possible with graftons) they also had seals between the arms, although I have seen these "get lost" along the way : ) .

Exactly , I believe those are the later, Crystal Design brakes. You won't find those at "bike pro" as they post date the site.

some weld details:

Here's another Bradbury Manitou

Would love to have a look at that Breezer too.... If you can post some pics that would be great.

Re: More inspiration WOW! :shock: Beautiful Bikes!! Nice job on keeping them original. The Bullmoose bars look so appropriate on those bikes. Just as I remember seeing them. very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Poor stem :(
