WTB: JCPenney El Tigre chrome forks
the bird built el tigres used the flat across bars, I have seen them with 2 different headtube designs but I think the spacing might be about the same.
The forkplate is on the outside not inset, the way the lower fender mount was designed seemed to vary.
Roper/sears bikes usually used the ape hanger style bars on their forks. The El tigre style are ALOT more comfortable for an adult rider, I preferred the ride of the el tigre over the sears bikes I have had. All the eltigres were also suspension forks, some of the roper bikes were not.

That's kinda what I thought too. That being said, I actually have an extra un-sprung Roper front-end available already... I know it fits, cause it's already been put on the frame once. :thumbsup: If I can't find the correct ones, I'll just use that. I mean Hell, it was close enough to fool TRK... :laugh::thumbsup:
