I'm gonna be getting one of these (for racing :twisted: ),

It's Italian but you have to get them from the US :roll:

If anyone wants to order one too let me know asap $25 + postage

No these are road-bike specific and very unconspicuous/aero

The photo I posted higher up looks a bit naff (good to know when you're about to be overtaken by a Ferrari ..) but if you click on the link you'll see better what it looks like

I wouldn't want to turn up to a race with one of those for instance ...

[quote="marco"]they may not be surrey league legal

seriously. im sure theres some rule about bar end plugs for the purpose of safety. If theres a sharp edge on those or the risk of a sharp edge then they may not get past the scrutineers.

What Scrutineers :lol:

No I think the trickiest bit with those will be avoiding having them accidentally snapped off while the bike is parked at the Pine Café :wink:

Glyn if you're reading us .. :D

These could be useful for commuting as I seem to have a permanently stiff neck nowadays.
They have an ebay site which might suit those that prefer paypal. Card cloned again this week with some g*t trying to draw cash in the Philipines. :(

I've been thinking of getting a/some mirror[s] to give me advance warning of Morons/chavs.

Does the Italian mirror come as a pair?

Would I have to fit new bar tape if I fitted this mirror?

Tim had a pair of these (or something similar) on his Pearson touring bike at the finishing line on Saturday ....
