Oakley IIIs were around in 80 weren't they? Nearly every bike round our way had them, or cheaper copies of them.

Oakley 3, or Cobra grips. I hated those grips back then. They didn't sit well with CW Pro bars  :D

Thanks for all the input gents, I appreciate the effort.

I think I will opt for the a'me tri's. She doesn't ride with gloves yet, and the look like the better option. I like the Oury grips, but ridges hurt after a while when riding without gloves, and i don't think Oakley .5's for $299 will fit in with her survivor bike   :D   ;D
