Hi Wyndham, Hi Kim,

Kim is right, I was misled by the sellers residence but on furhter examination should have recognised the Enik branding.

Hi Michael, Hello Wyndham,

I am sorry to say that although the info is very welcome, the fork is an Enik. They equipped the german national teams in the 70s. Nice bikes. I ride an early 90s aluminum one with a steel fork sporting this exact same logo. A good daily. Best, kim
