They do exist

I have searched the internet from time to time trying to find proof that these bar ends are real. I finally found some pictures. The set I had on my old GT Tempest were black. If anyone knows of a set that are available, I would like to buy them.

I kick myself for not buying a set of these when I saw them for sale....

They are so hard to find and they bent so easily that many were damaged and tossed. If I find a set I'll buy them. It's one of the few rare components that I had in the 90s. Now I wish I still had my damaged set.

It's a long shot but I sent a message to the guy I think had them for sale a while back....
