Reynolds 853 fork decals question

[sawston_vulcan]

Hi…I just bought a frame made by Steve Goff. The seller had the frame by SG and SG is a friend of the seller and so I trust what he says.

The frame has 853 main tubes and 725 chain and seat stays …The forks are 853 with a sloping fork crown with Reynolds engraved in it…It has a Reynolds 853 main tubes frame decal but no fork decals…R is I believe for chromoly forks….I can’t find any 853 fork decals on line or on the Reynolds website but I am certain or at least fairly certain that Reynolds made fork blades in 853.

Did Reynolds ever produce 853 fork blades and did they make 853 fork decals?

Appreciate any information on this subject.

Reynolds certainly made/ make 853 fork blades. My wife’s old Thorn had those and if I remember correctly it had their ‘R’ with yellow and green accents on oval shaped decal. Google search returned another (later?) variant found on Genesis bikes for example:

Thank you…so 853 fork blades exist and 853 fork decals seemingly exist…just a case of finding a pair!

Found something on eBay…£15…Nothing on H Lloyds Cycles website…I have sent a message to Reynolds but won’t get a reply till after Easter
