Rockshox or tat...?

[Loola]

Afternoon all.
I thought I would have another post on here, ask a question and hope that this time it doesn't fall into chaos again...

I spied a Kona Cindercone Racelight on eBay (and saw it had also appeared in the auction-watch section on here. The frame looked tatty but studying the advert, some of the spec looked ok.
£50 buy-it-now, I thought I'd take a chance...
Some pics to follow...

they look more like Manitou but could be anything but not Rock Shox

That's not a Rock Shox..

Re:

The forks are unbranded and have been painted in a dirty gold colour.
The original metal is an alloy and has reacted badly with either water, the atmosphere or something in the re-sprayed paint. Resulting in some large 'pimples' on the surface.
You can also clearly see the original yellow paint under the gold.
So my original thought was Rockshox, based on little more then the yellow colour.
I've stripped the forks down and the internals are pink elastomer over red coils springs.

Manitou Spyder

I'd stake my hat on it - but I dont wear a hat.

Re:

The 'adjusters' don't look the same?
Thinking maybe they're just tat...

With the sliders removed, they weighed just shy of 700g.

Re:

Not sure if this represents anything? Can't find any other markings?

so even though the fork legs and the crown match, even the colour underneath matches, you are saying no?
