Citation? We had half-taped with cotton, not grips. I didn't see slip-on tubular grips for road bars until Plastiche Cassano in the early 80s.
The principle of half the bar having something on it, not specifically grips
yeah, but at least with bar tape i can imagine it not looking horribly wrong as it would go u to the hoods, whereas on these there was a good 2cm between the hoods and top of the grips; just looked shoddy.
Awful photography on my behalf.
