Late 80's very early 90's grips choice

[kalex]

If you've got a factory spec late 80's or very early 90's bike but the grips are toast, what would be your go to period era bar grips to complement your build.

I don't mean the most expensive or rare, I would like to know the pair that suits that time line to the ordinary person

Grab-On Mtn1 and Mtn2.
A’me Unitron
Odi Mushroom
Ritchey Truegrip

All of the above are still available, and relatively cheap. Grab-On are my favourite (£15 from SJS Cycles).

My 88 Stumpjumper had fattish foam grips that I got used to and then loved. OG Grabons are getting hard to find, but try searching for ‘high density’ foam: they seem to be pretty close to BITD

I don’t hate these:

Grips

Spot on this is what I'm after.

The grab-on mtn 1 look a very good OG looking alternative for most avg bikes back then

Definitely 80's look.

Do you think they'll have the same feel

These ritchey truegrip look very similar to the other high density foam grips.

I think this is the option for me as I'm from an old school BMX background, so this is very helpful thank you

I have gone with these on late 80's Stumpjumper replacements - the neoprene Ritchey WCS Truegrip

£12.99 ish, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297190075583

I've ordered a pair of these now.

Hopefully they'll be ok
