theres a few things running through my mind,first off they hit me as ANLUN then I thought usa made patty ,then I thought gen 2 hutch,i cant decide,might be none of the above.the thin cross bar makes me think hutch or patty but neither quite look boxy enough

here are the gt pro bars that pattys are identical too but the pattys have a higher thinner cross bar.this also shows that the tale that patty are gt bars is a myth,they are the same sweep and shape but the cross bar is different,these gt's are circa 84.the same time patty release their own gt made bars

There is no knurling and they are 29.5 inch wide. I thought they were early Hutch or Profile. (Hutch and Profile being linked) But I'm not 100%. I put the Hutch stickers on. I think they will be early 80's before the 28 inch rule came in.

I'm listening Markyp. LOL. I've not seen Patterson bars so wide before. If they are Patty's they must be early ones. Here is a picture of the cross bar weld.

More welds.

Title: Re: Bar help.
Post by: animal on February 11, 2015, 07:43 PM

Pics r not that clear  ::) But it looks a lot like braize to me  ;) Unless they have been rechromed and polished out ? Wassell has been mentioned, but if they r braized they could be anything Brit made to be honest. I have seen and had many many different Brit made bars . they r so hard to nail down  :tickedoff:

Title: Re: Bar help.
Post by: MartyC on February 14, 2015, 09:37 AM

They remind me of a pair of Reynolds 531 bars I used to run on my Patterson bitd, incredibly wide but felt great to ride with.  I can't remember the brand but they were deffo not a major US brand.
