Any idea on what these grips are gents ? Just curious as to what they are to see if it's worth tracking some down.
Sorry for the bad quality pics but they're all I can find of the bike I'm putting together soon.

While you're at it, does that look like an ACS 860 brake ?

Thanks for looking

front brake is a nippon apparently. There is a review of the bike in sept 87 bicross magazine but it doesnt look like it lists the grips or poignees as the french call them.

Nice one, thank you. I'll check out the mag in question. Maybe the were nothing too special. Shame it isn't an 860, that's what I've got to use at the mo. Nippon on the radar now though. I managed to bag a black label Weinmann 750 for the rear as per pm. Cheers.

couldnt find any scans of that particular mag but if you check on https://issuu.com for bicross mags either side of issue 60 there may be an ad or something for it

At a guess, given the schwinn yo seat my guess would be these in blue

Nice one, I can only remember seeing ads for the hi ten model when I bought one of those. Maybe I'll check back.

It would make sense that the Yo! Grips were used along with the seat. The grips are scarce though. It's not a totally spec build so I'll find something to suit.

Thanks again for your input
