Paul Component Engineering PURPLE ANO ALERT!

[Porschenut]

Found these at my LBS. While I have no use for them, (either the part or the purple), I figured I couldn't let these retro babies languish away for another 10+ years. They're going to languish away in my parts room instead.

So, who's retro enough to remember what these were for?



Yup, you're old.

They are brake lever extensions, so that you can brake when you have your hands on the bar-ends.

It's so you can use your brakes from the bar ends

Bugger should have read all the text

You don't have to be old to know what they are/do, you just have to be literate. :roll:
CHIMCHIM : does exactly what it says on the packet.

I also have a set of Joe Murray's Dr. Dews (I bought them new in the early 90's). So between those and the Chim Chims, I figure I have the bar end brake lever market cornered! They never really worked though. Cantilevers plus brake lever extensions didn't exactly equal massive braking power.

Sorry.. :cry: but they looks a bit clumsy. I think the bike would have been alot prettier without...!

Well thanks for that Porschenut. I'd never seen them before. But then i hate bar ends.
