Thanks for this info, interesting that the "model name" for 024 is "Ultra Strong" but that''s only close to "Super Strong".
and the elephant sticker also says "Ishiwata-3Rensho" which could imply a custom-drawn tube set (maybe)
I may have to remember to check the steerer stamp next time I release the fork!
