Hi

Yeah, vaguely remember them, seem to remeber them as a promo item in clothes shops (western jean,clock tower, leicester, had a bmx in the window with them, bike was nowt, chromey thing), did Lee cooper sponsor any teams? that rings a bell too....

Long, long time ago...

Cheers

Cool, the ones I remember had a printed Lee Cooper Logo on, the red elongated diamond with the script over the top, more like this.

Got the logo's ready on my computer upstairs, might print them onto tshirt transfer paper and knock some up as I remember them.

I'm pretty sure I've seen some on a 70's bike before, could well have been made by speedo or at least they were a similar style to their pads  :-\

They are really cool.   :daumenhoch:

Matching footwear would set them off a treat.   :-*
