Best i can do Andy  :) My Rickman is in storage so it's not easy to get to at the moment mate.

I'm sure Rickman are stamped on the bar under one of the grips with a number like 25 001 ????

Thanks for that Martin. Appreciate the help, Again. But now i'm even more lost. I have a set of bars that are very similar to Rickmans but these are 750mm wide. The pro bars on the flier you posted show, In Rickmans own words that they are 700mm wide. I know not all old adds are 100% accurate. but that's a whole 2 inches.    More Info and pics everyone please.  :)

More pics of mine. They are a fraction over 700mm wide aswell, nowhere near 750mm.

They do look like them. Very like them. Identical if it wasn't for the width.

More i look at them the more i don't think they are Rickman Andy. The cross bar looks far too thin on yours mate.

A company called Wassel made bars too, they're British aswell so used brazing on their bars.

I have not heard or seen anything about Wassell. Need some pictures of them now.  ;)

Andy could well be right. I was going to suggest Wilson bars, but the bottom looks different. slightly flatter and wider. The cross bar sits lower too. Ah the joys of trying to ID handlebars  ::)

Should Never have sold My Rickman Pro !

Think mine had expert bars (these are wider) but the crossbar on yours definitely look a little thin to be Rickman.
