Not mine but might have interesting provenance

[Danneaux]

It certainly has a unique color scheme. It appears the fork might be a replacement, as it doesn't match.

It'll be interesting to see how this one goes.

I actually know who is selling this. I am not going to say though.
I can tell you. It is nothing to do with me.
Good provenance .....

Hi Dan, Not sure there ever was a matching fork on these Mk1 Raven Tours, I recall both the Red 'Celtic band' ( as they were known ) and the 'True Blue' (? ) colour options all had black forks. There was a black frame too with the celtic bands as far as I can remember...

Ah, Brummie; good info and thanks! It would be cool if it was complete from original. I always liked the Celtic band trim.

Mind you, a fork replacement isn't a bad thing. I have a choice of two Sherpa Mk2 forks I can swap into my non-Thorn enduro-Allroad bike, converted from a MTB. One gives 40mm of (low) trail while the other results in a perfect neutral geometry of 57mm trail. Both are black. Sure beats the oversized original for comfort and compliance and of course I love the long uncut steerer.

Best,

Dan.
