Depends who made it I guess. The WHEELS ones generally show a famously wonky cross bar on their race sized bars, albeit only slight(!)

Never seen 531 decals on them either.

Are these brazed or Tig welded?

Thought they were worth a punt, real then that is ace, not real then they are really nice bars.
