If I've got the story straight, the bars on eBay used to be sold as GT Brahma bars. I bought a set of the GTs way back in the mid '90s, and recently transferred them onto my commuting bike. I was unhappy with the fit and comfort of my bar ends. I have been very pleased with these now; they have been great for the commute. They offer an extra hand position or two, use regular mountain-type brake and shift levers, and I think they just look cool. I wrapped mine in some extra-thick synthetic bar tape.
