Help please, what logo is this?

I'm Xposting this all over BF and will no doubt draw the ire of the mods before long but I'm hoping someone can ID this logo.

They're a set of modern "wing" style drop bars and the letter "a' (I assume) is the only logo. I acquired these a few years ago and seem to remember they might be a Spanish maker but can't really recall. Since I can't remember the maker I don't know if they were around in the "old days" or not but here's hoping.....

Getting old sorta sucks.

Assos?? (sp)

It doesn't look like an Adidas A, so that's all I have.
Can't even recall what exactly Assos made, but the name comes to mind looking at that letter A.

Hmmm..

I seem to recall that they have made parts from time-to-time in addition to (very expensive) clothing.

The bars weren't real expensive...

This request is in 3 different forums with a few hundred views and so far you have the only guess....I have some esoteric bars on one of my bikes it seems.

Sure that's not upside down? Looks like the "D" on my cheap-o Dimension bars. Exact same font with a triangle cutout:

JYB: You might just be right. My bars aren't upside down but perhaps the logos weren't applied correctly. Here's a bigger pic.

I'm pretty sure you would read them standing in front of the bike...which would make them a D, not an A.

They'll be vintage in another 20 years!

You are right on both counts. Thanks mucho!

Not vintage but I like them b/c a motorcycle accident forces me to ride essentially one-handed and the flat section helps with taking the stress off my wrist.

I checked and they're still available and I'll be ordering a set soon.

Btw this stumped whoever looked at it on the Mechanics and Road forums.

I recently bought some flattops for my cyclocross bike. I love 'em! If I had enough money I'd convert all of my regular riders - they are a much better fit for my crash-warped body.
