Re:

Interested, but what is the speed and what brand gears is it for, Shimano, Suntour, road, MTB? They made a lot of variations.

Re: First generation Grip Shift

They look 2nd Gen to me.

I was told these are 1st generation, but am no expert on this myself. could you tell me the difference between 1st and second?

Re:

The 1990 1st Gen model was simply printed, not embossed...in fact, they may be 3rd gen even.

Re:

My 1st gen are not indexed if that helps so most likely a later on version

That's probably because they are broken or in need of a clean. Gripshift were always indexed, albeit not with the most distinct clicks.

The printed grips were self adhesive cork like grips, I always found them to be better than the rubber ones as they didn't spin around the shifters when they got wet. In fact, I still have some NOS printed grip sheets in my collection - £5.15 when new:

Re:

Pete thanks for the correction
Mine are not on the bike and unless I place tension on the cable
no clicky is felt like on later models.

Cheers
