I sent the ad and bar pics to Mike and asked if he had made them. He also confirmed there was a link with Rebel. His reply below:-

'Yes we made the frames, bars, and seat posts for Peugeot. We also sold the 531 bars to Gratton the mail order catalogue.
 
90% of our production went to Halfords. The frame we supplied was a freestyle frame and was badged up Steve Wilson. Steve Wilson ran the Halfords BMX team.
 
If I remember ....................................our racing BMX frame was modeled on the 'Firebird' frame. All our original frames were chrome plated. We then went to White powder coating as this was latter the fashion.
 
At one stage we were going to tie up with Rebel BMX which was an off shoot from the old Comrade bicycle company in Darlaston.'

I can also remember a pal bitd who had a copy Haro Freestyler . He told me his dad got it from over cannock . May be that solves the mystery of where they came from . Also the Vector copy bars would tie in with that aswell.
