Recommended a grip for gripshift

[sefton1275gt]

About to fit these.

What's a good period looking grip that would look/work well with them?

And should I trim them down sobthev overall length (including shifter) is the same kind of length of a regular grip?

Onza porch chops came with a point to cut for grip shift. You will need to cut grips down unless you have super wide bars.

Any of the one piece grips can be cut down, depends on the pattern as to whether it will look odd.

You can get grip shift specific grips online but obvs new but grip shift branded so look the part.

You can get Gripshift branded ones, like these:

But, personally, I prefer these Ritchey ones:

actually your shifter has a Gripshift logo, but it's in fact a Sachs "Powergrip", just rebranded after SRAM bought Sachs 1997.
Those Powergrip had been used for instance back in time a lot on Cannondale bikes. The model "wavey" seems to be the most common used https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/sachs-wavey.112935/

Therefore ideally you should combine it with a grip designed for Sachs.

There's some sachs grips on the bay right now, like the grey above but in black.... Strong money for some old grips.

I'm pondering the same for a build I'm planning, love the sachs ones but not at that price.

I've got some Sachs grips that can be had for about a quarter of that price. I'll post photos if there's any interest.
