Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

took a bit of a gamble and bought a badly listed frame off fleabay.
it was listed as a Rourke and has the decals to match.
however, how do i tell whether it is a genuine Rourke or whether its simply been re-badged?
i'm also not sure whether the forks are original
any help?

^ Difficult to tell a great deal from the low res. photo - Looks pretty nice though.
Best way to check that the forks are original is by taking them off and seeing if there's a frame number on the forks, and how it matches the one on the frame.
To check it's a Rourke, your best bet is the serial#
According to a previous thread there's a forum member by the name of rourkie that may be able to help you.
The only thing I'm slightly mystified by is the angle of the track ends, it may be my eyes - they don't appear to follow the chainstay, but seem to be horizontal or possibly even pointing slightly down - the mudguard eyes on the fork ends and track ends suggest it's more of an oldschool winter fixed or "path" frame than a pure track machine, which may explain the angle of the track end.... (otherwise it may be a conversion with replacement track-ends).

yea sorry about the crappy pic, phones are unfortunately rather unreliable in that respect.
thanks for the heads up about Rourkie, sent them a message, although it appears they've been inactive for quite some time.
i see what you mean about the track ends, its also drilled for a rear brake so i guess thats further evidence that its more of a path frame than track.

incase anyone else knows how to interpret the serial numbers, the number stamped on the bb, as far as i can make out, is: 5908

cheers

emailed brian rourke cycles, and they got back with some bad news, apparently their serial numbers to date only go up to Num:5116
might be useful info for anyone wondering whether they've got a rourke frame
but basically my frame aint one of them.

still least i can respray it anyway i want now without feeling im doing the original history any injustice
