Source Paperboy Grips???

Sure wish I'd have seen this before mailing out your Space Duel... I have some blue grips, but they're not going to be cheap...
 
Yup...that's where you get them. I think he was selling them cheaper about 6 months ago, but said prices would go up when his stock started dwindling.
 
And they look so nice ;)

Ive contacted the manufacturer to see if they can do another run of these. Will post if I hear anything back.
 
Hunt-Wilde went out of business in 2006. From my understanding attempts to contact the company that purchased the vinyl grip equipment has resulted in ZERO positive results. It would be cool if we could get at least a definitive answer as to the possibility.
 
Ain't gonna happen in blue. Been there, done that.
Maybe black but you'll need to buy 2500 units and spend a few thousand.
 
I found red,white,black ones

Not exactly the same design, but better than some of the stuff you see.

White ones like that came on my Hutch freestyle bike. That style of grip is pretty easy to find NOS on Ebay, but wouldn't look right on Paperboy. Glad I got the blue grips a while back.
