Mystery and Unidentified Parts

Another from me, this time I think early / mid 90’s bare carbon fibre bars. No branding other than the remnants of a single decal with the letters “Tu”.
Any ideas?

They were one of the first readily available carbon bars in the UK. Certainly a rarity, and one of those early 90s things I like. I’m not sure whether I would trust them in anger (would anyone trust any 30 year old carbon bars..) but they're certainly a superb garage queen bit of kit

I had a set of those that came on a late 80s Raleigh Avanti. I then picked up a Venom Sabre. I can only put the two together in my head and suggest Venom (who made frames/custom bikes in Birmingham) also had some branded bar ends that made their way round.

Just found the only clip I have. I’m sure mine said something like ‘manufacturing’ and had a location underneath the Venom logo too

That is so interesting mate they can’t have made them for very long ..yours are gloss. Think I can also see evidence of some gloss black on mine just looking back at the photos
