Q...
Can you get Repop Oakley B2 Grips...???
-
Sure hope not. Something's need to be left sacred
-
Coming to an internet bike shop nr you soon ;) :LolLolLolLol:
-
Here's hoping :LolLolLolLol:

There's not enough NRP's on the market IMHO, it's time this hobby moved forward. :teef:

Once you re-pop... you just can't stop. :LolLolLolLol:

The reason i ask , is because i have just bought a set and my fellow biker was with me when i picked them up from the post office...
He said there's no way they are 30 years old...
I had to agree, the box is like brand new, as for the grips... They look like they're just out of the factory...
I thought WTF...I've been stroked... >:(
-
NOS ones are out there. I bought a black set in May, although the box was knackered. Since then, I've seen about 4/5 pairs in various colours for sale in excellent/mint/NOS in the box, so they are there if you're prepared to keep searching. Are yours blue?
-
Worry not dude they haven't been repoped (yet). I've a few OG sets that look like they're fresh out of the shop.
-
Got any photos?
-
I got a fresh NOS blue pair from a German seller about 4 years ago... They were mint ... I think he had a box full to be fair as they come up every few months ... They are OG and box and grips were perfect ... If they've been stored right why shouldn't they be mint?
They've not re-poped them as far as I know ... Hence I thought I got raped at the time on price ! In four years they've gone up at least 40% in price though! :daumenhoch:

I got these from Luigi in Frankfurt...

They are bang on genuine B2's bro. A lovely set and well looked after.
You can tell where the mould line cuts across the edge of the 'Y' and alongside the 'I'.
They have not ever re-issued these grips, yet.
-
"wantit" Minter than mint!
-
That's the same guy I got mine from... The donuts are a quality weave only found in OG ones and the near closed ends are only seen on real ones too.. Repops have small hole at the ends :daumenhoch:
They are pucka dude ! :4_17_5:
