I wouldn't of thought so mate, they look very low end, the sort of thing that was fitted to catalogue bikes. New Skyways are only 30 quid or so more.....

Avoid at all costs. They're cheap because the plastic compound is rubbish and to hard. They have a tendency to shatter under pressure and fire splinters of plastic around.

They're made out of the same plastic that tic tacs come in
