Hi mate  ;)

I have never seen them before  ??? but i have seen some thing like it but no top turn - just the bottom drop - think they had dimples or slight holes on the top - seem to remember some thing on a blue bike and maybe even a 24"or 26" ?

they almost have a look of a grifter bar mould pad


cheers B  ;)

It often helps to look in the country of origin as they are usually more plentiful. Are they made by selle royal? if so worth a look on Italian ebay etc  :daumenhoch:

I know it doesn't help but i know where there is a very tidy complete for sale with a set of these on.
Rini's used to have some unusual stuff grip wise, may be worth sending chip at c4 a message  :daumenhoch:

Ha ha they're quite impossible to come by these days, as they were ditched first week when purchasing a Yamaha or Motobecane BITD...
I got a set in black I saved many moons ago, for a project that probably won't happen, pm me.
