GT 10" rise bars!

[generallee]

I have managed to ge thold of a set of survivor condition bars, pre stamp GT 10" rise bars - anyone tell me anything about them? ie what age, are they perhaps rare, and what they may be worth - chrome ok but would need a rechrome or powdercoat for show condition,  nice looking still though and a great set of survivor bars!

back

and worst bits of chrome

Steve,

I have a couple of pairs both nos, one set on my pro below. They make a lot of room!

They were known as Andy Preston bars (at least that is what I recall anyway). Gonna be 82 forwards??? Perhaps one of the GT specialists can confirm.

I think they were called GT Pro XT (for extra tall) they are circa 83/4/5 and designed for the taller rider 5' 10" plus
