Reckon it's time to let my Ragley Luxy bars go.
On one hand I didn't get on with them so they didn't get used a great deal, on the other hand I've held onto them for 12 months since they were removed from my Gryphon because it's impossible to find a pair for sale...
...and yet here is your rare opportunity to own a pair.
£50 and they are yours, including postage.

Great bars...
1) took ~30 mins longer to sell than I might have guessed
2) I'd have a fiver on guessing who bought them, but let's not
3) sort of regret selling mine but happily my preferred bar shape is marginally less rare
they're better used and appreciated

On a slightly related note - I rooted out my WTB Dirt drops the other day with the intention of getting rid but upon seeing them, put them back in the box
What value a life half lived if the half you lived was the wrong half?

Originals? Shame to leave them hiding in a box!

I'll find them a new home at some point. I know I'll never find anymore if I sell them.

Exactly why I have a set of Luxy's in the shed

Also why I kept hold of my Luxys for 12 months longer than I should. It's nice to have nice things. Like a personal museum.

Best bars I've ever owned. I will happily take them to the grave. Regretted selling my original pair, then when I found another pair I snapped them up.

The purchase was mostly made after your praise of them, and the feeling that everyone should try building a 26+ drop-bar singlespeed at least once in their life...

Are those the one and same pair that are on my Shand Stooshie?
Can’t entirely recall where I got mine from
but they were second hand.

They are - they went to a good home!
