Does anyone know where I could get a pair of Sach grips like the ones in the pic below? I use Sachs Wavey shifters and have found that these work perfectly with them. Alternatively what good grips are currently out there?

I recently bought a Shimano brake kit and it came with highly polished steel ferrules 12mm in length (on the left in the picture). I was looking to use these for the gears too, but there's not enough of them in the pack. I tried to find some more on the internet and thought I had found them on...

Not sure if i have posted this one before. Don't think I have. Can anyone tell me what this is off? I found it in a tin of RC7 grease that came with a set of RC36 EVO forks and it puzzled the hell out of me.

This is the first bike I can remember having, a 3 geared Tri-ang Dragster (not my pic!). It was hidden in the cupboard at the top of the stairs and I accidentally found it a month before Christmas 1971 or 72. It was bought from the Post Office of all places and the old geezer who ran it showed...
