I have got a pair and am unsure - although the decal is not the early 80's Santa Ana version, that I know!!

They look very much like the bars I used to run on my Freestyler, so, 1983-5 kinda time

With that style decal on the right hand side of the bars instead of the left and what looks like the oval crossbar instead of the round, me thinks 1985/86 ish

Personally, I'd put them even later than that, but I'd be guessing. I'm almost 100% they're later than '85, then they moved to Huntingdon Beach, so I think they would be late 80's, no??

I have a set like that.

I am sure mine have a GT Stamp under the decal.

I paid 17 notes for them in about 1990

I'll check to see if they are stamped, but concensus is 80's bars I think, just not quite what I was after. So if anyone has any GT pro Santa Ana bars black or chrome please let me know.
