I bought this chromed fork, or forks, the other day and I'd like to know who is the maker.
Does anyone recognise the logo?
While I'm here, a dinner fork or a fork in the road are counted as singlar, but a bicycle is usually described as having 'forks', pleural.
For a cycle,which is correct?

Who made this?
Re: Who made this?
One fork at the front, which often has two blades. (Hello, fellow Burrows fans!)
Apparently there is a usage of rear fork, but not by me.

PS: Photo?
Re: Who made this?
Photo didn't make it. I'll try again.............
Re: Who made this?
I have always talked about a bicycle having "forks" at the front.

That logo is Daccordi. https://www.daccordicycles.com/tailor-made/
Re: Who made this?
You have a left fork & a right fork together they are forks, A trident has three forks.

Thanks all for the info.
Logically, Jdsk's 'fork' is correct I believe, but illogically I, like drossall also find myself referring to 'forks'.
Each to his own ...WTH!

Trousers come in pairs too.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Re: Who made this?
I do refer to "forks", meaning just the thing at the front, but it should really be "fork". A fork has at least two branches or tines to make it a fork, "blades" in the case of a bike fork. A fork that you eat with has three or four tines, but still remains a fork in the singular. Likewise a garden fork is singular.
Spa think this way too:

Logic and idiom sometimes diverge
