Syncros Bars or something else ?

[gtturbo]

I picked up an old GT from FB Marketplace cheap the other day. My guess, it's been resprayed, is that it is a 1990 Karakoram K2 with some upgrades judging by the groupset and wheels etc. Now it has these bars fitted. My memory says Syncros, mainly going by the shim, but they have no marking on the bars at all. Did Syncros perhaps use stick on decals at one point. I think they may have done ?. Then again my memory might be completely wrong and they are something else completely. Weight with shim is about 185g and they are around 575 wide, maybe a touch less.

Anyone able to confirm what these are ?. Thanks in adance.

Look like Syncros to me. From memory they used decals on some and silk screened logos on others - these came off if you stared at them too hard. I lost almost a complete logo from one side extracting a bar from a Cattleprod stem

Re:

They're quite a thick bar and I think the shim was different for Syncros.
But I'll have a search later.

Early turn of the 90s version.. Missed that in the post at the start.

Seems good

Thanks all. Those bars are an unexpected bonus as I literally bought the bike because it had Ringle QR's fitted. Bars should go well on the Dogs I am going to be building soon. I'm messaging Gil about some other decals so will see if he can sort out some for these bars as well. Thanks again.

Gil definitely has the decals. I’ve bought some from him

Re:

This is the bar I was thinking it was (1991), but I guess could easily be the later one above
