I'm pretty sure, someone used to have these ? back in the DM(cough) L (cough) days...

good quality, but expensive and the mirror size was quite small IIRC..

Interesting, thanks for the review.
do you know anyone who has them other than Tricoloure.

these came to be known as THE DARK DAYS...when pestilence and disease were rife, children were hobbled and accordion players roamed freely.

Let they be gone from our minds and memories!

In terms of questions, facts, statistics surrounding 'bling', I always turn to the bling master.......Melvin, help needed in aisle 5!

crg's look better in my opinion anyway, are the same quality and are clear and vibration free. they also fold in for lane splitting, don't know how they compare cost wise though, they are expensive as well.

Cost wise they are similar I think.
Me personally I think the Lane Splitters look a little unfinished the way they clamp on.
I like the neatly finished look of the Oberons.

but then that's why all of our bikes look different cause everyone likes something in their own way.
Me Oberon's, you Paul CRG's.
I like Clipons others are not a fans they prefer normal bars.

Mmmm not a bad mirror, but I actually like the Napoleon Bar end mirrors mentioned.
Anyone know where (in this country) I can purchase these?

Have tried several bike shops here in Adelaide, and as usual they either don't stock bar end mirrors or they are the cheap and nasty chinese crap.

If I get no joy in Aust I'll search OS.

Any help will be appreciated

Hey Vossy,

Couldn't find anything here, just reviews and other people talking about them.
Only place I found them for sale is here at Motostrano

vossy · April 19, 2009, 07:29:27 PM

Thanks MattyV

will have a look.

loony888 · April 20, 2009, 12:11:42 AM

that's true matty, i like the oberons as well, i just like the crg's more and mentioned them as an alternative. IIRC napoleons are no more, only the cheapo mcs chinese copies.

paul.

mattyvas · April 20, 2009, 12:47:58 AM

there you go Vossy, the mirrors you're after might not be made any longer.

vossy · April 20, 2009, 05:14:51 AM

Just bought a set from CA cycleworks online.

No chinese crap for me!

Just hope I don't get an email saying that they're out of stock.

Dockstrada · April 22, 2009, 12:34:25 AM

Ok so I have decided. they were an easy fit,I did need to cut the bars but all good

Look familiar Matty
