Retro grips?

[grogee]

OK, bit of a vague one, but does anyone know what sort of grips I should be looking for to suit a 1990(ish) Raleigh Technium Peak?

More to the point, does anyone know where I can get something suitable? Ideally new ones, as used grips are a bit... icky. And, like saddles, they don't seem to wear well.

I can't remember what was on my (similar) Raleigh Technium Heat back in the day, except I do remember changing them to 'Ergogrips' which were rubbish...

Same for me, Ritchey Truegrips. Very nice ones. They are in foam and rubber ones. I use the Foam ones.
Bitd I used the Bontrager foam grips but they are not available anymore.

Cheers
