You'll need an expert eye for that.
I'm sure Steve Animal or Phil sawzall will be able to answer that ;)

Post by: Bigbadsam on April 17, 2013, 02:00 PM: Thanks for looking boys, I've not seen any other like these before. Full 28" by 9.5". I've started cleaning them up and they look ok so far.
I was trying to think of a stem that would leave that kind of mark, poss double top style
:wtf:

Post by: southern andy on April 17, 2013, 02:59 PM: They're not Rickman but if i had to guess then i'd say MRD Pro bars but that is a guess.

I have Rickman Pro and MRD Expert bars in my collection but i don't have MRD Pro to match for you.

dib dobs if you want to sell. :) :)

Post by: animal on April 17, 2013, 03:41 PM: Seen a few pairs of these now . Si had a pair and they defo not Rickman made as braizing ain't good enough. Not MRD pro bars either cos done that comparison aswell ;) as far as I remember they r nice and light so prob Reynolds tubing. Could b anything . I got some retrofit bars made local 2 me in Penkridge and they r not like those. Brum wheels r tig welded as got a pair of those 2 . Not Vincent cos done that with Katie . So a mystery that would b great 2 solve :coolsmiley: could they b whitehawk ? Or another guess would have been made in the Atom/TRM factory ::)

Post by: sawzall on April 17, 2013, 05:37 PM: by the look of them i would say there a generic bar as there were loads of copy

bars made back in the day and as steve said they are not mrd rickman or birmingham wheels

as i have them all in my collection and they look nothing like these :daumenhoch:
