Hi there, I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to have several sets of grips and no bikes to build them with. Lots of us are into building and riding our bikes and a few others seem to stash away parts for future builds or other reasons. I would love to see other collectors grip collections and hear any cool stories about them. I am going to post pictures of my grips when I was cleaning up and prepairing to move back home from Japan last Christmas.

Here are some pictures.

Here are some other pics of grips I had until I packed them up and shipped them back home.

forgot to add these too.....



and I know I have a couple of pairs of Kuwahara grips not pictured. Not trying to show off, I know there are plenty of other people who have way more and much rarer stuff but just felt like showing some grips and seeing other peoples collections. I hope to build some bikes to go with these grips.

If you have some pictures of your grips, either on the bike or off the bike please post them. Lets see your grips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grab on MX-1's

I sure could use those black and yellow Oakleys in the first pic. I just bought a Kuwahara and the exact same grips are trashed. I mean trashed!

Here's my stash:




I sold the colored Hutch grips.

A jumble o' Jive...

Anyone want to sell their Grab-Ons?

Sorry I'm totally grip-less.

I also have a pair of grey Oakley B1B sleeves....

Still don't see any MX-II's..........(in blue please, money waiting!!!)

I've been meaning to pull all of mine out so that I can take some photos and update this website...

HELIX BMX COLLECTION

Now I've got a reason to get it done... just gotta find the time.
I will try to get this going soon so you guys can see them.
I have pretty much all styles and colors of Oakley grips as well as many Grab-On, A'me, etc.

Cool site Helix! my favorite grips are Oakley 1's...who would have ever known they would be so hard to find when we were adults!!??

Grips are not my strong suit by any means, but I do have these "ho-hum" Grab-on survivors....




Er, wait, those don't say "Grab-on"....



Who has the inside scoop on these things anyway? I have a little, but I'd love to hear more of the story....

I know I never ever see them.... (...here they come now! lol)

heres my OGK cobras:

Jamie sell me those black and grey B-1B's!!!!

A couple more OGK's...

Oh! Nice grips there Ringer, I would love to have those, the colored ones are every where. Hard to find those black ones, love em! I'll trade you something from Japan if you like.

Here is a teaser picture for you there Sumo178

If someone has some blue and yellow, or yellow and blue Unitrons, PLEASE message me. I need them for my Patterson

Oakley O Wings were the shizzle in my day.Nice and thin on the bar....just felt fast.

Ringer, want to trade for those black OGK grips? I love those,......

Or can I die (dye) yellow ones black? I have heard people doing this before.....

This is kind of old but how about these grab-ons!!

Hey this thread is open again....cool !! I think it was locked down by one of the Adds when someone posted a slightly adult picture....anyways, I got most of my grips posted on my website, address is below. Would be cool to see others grips collections. Cheers

like this.


Or like these two styles.

Here's some Vintage Mongoose grips through the years:

Hey Jaime, would you be willing to sell the yel/blue unitrons? I had them on my Patterson back in the day, and that is one of the final pieces. Funny, that someone posted the same thing last year.

I always loved the Ame Fini's...and Juan was kind enough to send me out a set..loved them as a kid and it was so cool to pull these out of the box last week....

I always thought Finis were pretty cool too. They didn't last too well (the grip sleeves were soft, and the flange pieces tended to tear).

I have NOS yellow set, and I was intended to put them on my PR240, once I tracked down a blue set so I could build a blue/yellow grip set, but I gave up trying to find a blue set.

My personal favourite for grips is the A'me Tri. They are nice feeling grips.

Anybody remember either ODI or ATI grips that were thin and had a ball at the end to stop the bars from cutting through? Looked very .............................adult. Ha ha ha. Then to look at it and make any comments just was not right. Like, it feels good, I like the shape, I can grip it good, It's a little longer and I like that. I remember ads with Mike King for it.

Changstar

Torker Grips?




Or maybe these?

Hi Vader. I still have them, all NOS and with the box....I was going to use them but have not yet, email me or PM and maybe we can work out a trade or deal....

Jamie

Hi Jake (Sumo),

I don't plan on using the black and gray B1B grips anymore so I can let them go, email me or PM me if you are still interested, this post is a bit old so you may have found them by now. Cheers

So lets see some more grips!!! Post what you got!!!
