Not even sure if they are freestyle however seeing they are similar to the kneesaver design I'll go with it. Any ideas what make? They are around 28.25" x 8.75" and pretty decent quality. They were on a bike with a few DK parts. Did DK ever make bars? There's no marking on them whatsoever. Thanks in advance.

They look like a generic Wald type handlebar.

My GT bars like that have the logo stamped on the bottom of the bars where they end down there. I have a Diamondback bashguard bike with similar bars too, but if there's no logo stamped in it, I'd guess they're a knock-off too. Did they come off of a bike you got or did you just get them as the bars?
Jarvi
There's nothing stamped on the bottom. They did come on a bike although that had a mix of parts. eg frame/forks was 1984, purple Sun Mistral rims with what I think are DK hubs, DK stem, pitbull caliper, Tektro levers. A real mishmash of parts from various years.

Thems Diamond Back Reactor bars. I have a pair in the garage, no stamp, no sticker. I ran them w/ a frigging Spin Tech. The result was extra extra high bars.

I thought they looked like the one's that I have on my Tailwhip. I wasn't at home to go check if they had a stamp or not, but they look like that.

Cool. Thanks for the help guys.

On the new school front, Animal makes bars now that look kind of like that. No chrome though.

Yep. 1991 Diamond Back Tailwhip bars.

Thanks Chromey. I will go and add the date to my auction.
