Any idea of the actual make of these CW style bars - there is a partial decal on the left hand side but very damaged.
Thanks

I have been told the decal is Reynolds 531 Tubing.
Any one any more info. Thanks

Is the top bar straight between the uprights or swept back in a curve

I will have to check in the morning but think it is straight - thanks Jamzy.

Could be Peugeot bars.

Either Peugeot or Rebel, both used 531 tubing.

They look like they could potentially be Rickman bars to me ?

Heres a pic from their 85 catalogue & theres also some measurements for you to check.

I agree Phil, they definitely look TIG welded to me also, so not Rickman.

Are these Rickman?

sawzall · « **Reply #12 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:20 AM »

looking at the brazing i would say no as it's not neat enough

there were a lot of generic bars being made bitd
