[snav69]

You'll probably catch Alan about 10am  as he's a lazy cnut    , dunno what the difference is with the letter but i do know that Alan used to grind the R gusset off the pros (or was it the experts , can't remember  ) as they didn't like them on there race bikes      . I said to him "were you mad" he just laughed 
He's a goodun is Alan and will sort you out if he can

i had an identical set of those bars on my GHP, they came decaled as robbo bars and i was told that they were Robbo bars BITD,  ive got a set now and have compared them to robbo pro bars and the crossbar diameter is identical, if you speak to Alan query the bars as to whether the bars are robbo or just stickered up for the bike, but im pretty certain they are the correct bars for that bike im sure, too much of a coincidence otherwise.

there you go mr Burgandy and Dare, told ya

I hit the BIN button seconds after it was posted at the wrong price so we negotiated and I paid more than it was listed at but it was worth it.  The Halfway House, that's the name of the pub - boarded up now  .  I think the price I paid is in the thread but it was £150 plus £65 in petrol to drive there and back from London.

I'm hoping to restore it back to it's former glory - only a few small parts needed, a good clean up, re-chromed (or mirror polished) rims and a wheel rebuild within new spokes and new decals and it will be there.  I'm not sure about the bars so have asked Alan Woods by email if they are original, if they are it's 100% original spec 

[snav69]

I'll ask him about the bars tomorrow  i'm going to the shop

Would you ask him if he got my email and if I can get a set of those decals too? 

[snav69]

Sure thing
