Not sure Peter, this is a potential buy only for me at the moment. If alloy, what are you thinking?

EDIT: just been informed they are steel.

Looking at them again, I can't help thinking they look very similar geometry-wise (and the shape of the bottom angles nearest the unknurled stem area) to the bars on the new KE-01 E.T. replica re-issue (or am I way off there?)  :-\
