Titanium fork identification help

[ishaw]

Any idea on who made this fork or what it might be?

It arrived today so have been able to take some better pics and give it a once over.

It appears to be titanium, not magnetic, slightly rough/shot penned style legs and what also appears to be a titanium 1 1/8 steerer.

Funky alloy drop outs, alloy cnc crown, and a pace style crown race shim and brake mounts.

Legs aren't quite the same colour.

The weight is 1kg exactly.

I'd love to know what they are. Will I be able to polish the legs so they match colour wise?

Re: Fork identification help

Yes, but no. I'm sure i've seen them before... name just isn't coming out (so no help for image searches for you)
Ti legs ?
1 1/4" steerer ?
nice aluminium dropouts.

Give you £20 for them ?

Re:

Google images doesn't throw up a McMahon fork with a crown or drop outs like it. I've tried various search terms and not come across anything so far. Drop outs are similar to, but not the same as funk forks. Hmmm

Ti is always grey compared to Aluminium

Look similar to USE forks.

Look like USE

They certainly ring a bell, just can’t hear that bell loudly enough....The cast dropouts and cast then machined crown suggest it’s not a small boutique maker but a larger company as the investment would have been higher.

Koga and Cadex did similar ones, though not the same but I reckon they are more likely the type of maker.

USE were similar but fully CNC, no casting

But that doesn’t exclude prototypes etc!

And I’m not sure the legs are titanium, they look more like hard anodised alu, that colour just doesn’t scream Ti.
Also the steerer is far too thick for Ti, that’s certainly alloy
