There was a CW that was a sharp angle as well with a Square brace on it.  I cant think of any others at the moment.

I bought mine in  the early 1990's for my  Bully at a place called BIKE PRO RACING in kings heath  Birmingham.

I peeled my XPOSURE sticker off , to add  a  Bully one, bet Del has the template for the decals.

I've got a couple of the seventies straight posts in stock. Backyard we're selling them on eBay, only a tenner I think..

Not too sure if they are rare, but I'll keep em peeled.
