Wanted Early Nineties Grips

[DaiP]

I’m racking my brain trying to think of some early nineties grips that would be suitable for my bike. I’ve currently got a pair of modern grips I bought from my local bike shop but I’m now starting to nit pick at the finer details with my bike and I just want to try and get the little details right. One of which being the grips. I can’t for the life of me think what aftermarket grip were around in the early nineties that are not Onza. There’s no way I’m paying the £50 plus that people are asking for Onza grips, especially as I ride the bike and they’re likely to get worn out or damaged through use. I guess my question is, are there cheaper available alternatives to Onza Porcipaws and Ules, ideally open ended because I have bar ends and who sells them? Otherwise, I guess I’ll just stick with what I’ve got. Thanks.

As above. ODI still make the attack grips so those are available fairly cheaply , just no longer have Tomac in the name. The recent ones i have bought are not open ended. Those are quite possibly my favourite grips ever. Failing that SJS have Grab-Ons or you can still get Ourys.

Thanks both. The ODIs look like a good option for something that looks right and is useable for reasonable money. Much appreciated.

No, these are neoprene, the early ones were rubber like in my link. Chas put them on my Roberts early 90's.
