Possibly  !?! Did the OG's have that type of knurling ? I think the freestyle version did ?

I had a pair of the early FS ones (YES, with the wrong stickers !!), which I actually think I sold to you Nick ???,

Although I'd save my money and get some Johnny CHopper repros !!

I'm not so sure looking at those pics ... the weld quality looks poo and that stem knurling is tacky  :-\

Defo get the JC bars instead ... at least you know they're top quality  :daumenhoch:
