You'll need an expert eye for that.
I'm sure Steve Animal or Phil sawzall will be able to answer that ;)

Thanks for looking boys, I've not seen any other like these before. Full 28" by 9.5". I've started cleaning them up and they look ok so far.
 I was trying to think of a stem that would leave that kind of mark, poss double top style

They're not Rickman but if i had to guess then i'd say MRD Pro bars but that is a guess.

I have Rickman Pro and MRD Expert bars in my collection but i don't have MRD Pro to match for you.


dib dobs if you want to sell.  :) :)

 Seen a few pairs of these now . Si had a pair and they defo not Rickman made as braizing ain't good enough. Not MRD pro bars either cos done that comparison aswell  ;) as far as I remember they r nice and light so prob Reynolds tubing.  Could b anything . I got some retrofit bars made local 2 me in Penkridge and they r not like those. Brum wheels r tig welded as got a pair of those 2 . Not Vincent cos done that with Katie . So a mystery that would b great 2 solve  :coolsmiley: could they b whitehawk ? Or another guess would have been made in the Atom/TRM factory  ::)
